"Edamame is a go-to appetizer in Japanese restaurants, and for good reason. It’s light, nutrient-rich and comes together in minutes. And now you can prepare them at home to kick off your next dinner party or as a quick summer snack. You’ll find frozen edamame in their shells in Asian grocery stores or well-stocked supermarkets. Be sure to salt your boiling water well, just as you would with pasta (it should be salty like the sea!) This will ensure the pods are seasoned the whole way through. If you’d prefer to avoid the stove, microwave your edamame for 1–3 min. in a microwave-safe bowl with 4 tbsp of water and a pinch of salt. You will know your edamame are cooked through when their color brightens. I’ve used sesame here, but you can substitute in your own seasonings (try chili flakes, soy sauce, grated ginger or garlic)."
