Ingredients

1 lb frozen edamame in pods
2 tbsp kosher salt (for boiling water)
1/2 tsp flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)

Instructions

1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2 tbsp kosher salt (for boiling water) - the water should taste noticeably salty.
2

Add 1 lb frozen edamame in pods to the boiling water and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until pods are tender and beans are bright green and cooked through.
3

Drain in a colander and shake off excess water.
4

Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle immediately with 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt (such as Maldon) while still hot so the salt adheres. Toss to coat.
5

Serve warm or at room temperature. Squeeze beans directly from pods to eat.
