Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Frozen edamame (in pods)
- 1 teaspoon Coarse sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 4 cups Water
Instructions
Fill a medium pot with 4 cups of water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Add the frozen edamame to the boiling water and cook for 5-6 minutes or until the pods are tender and bright green.
While the edamame is boiling, zest the lemon to measure out 1 teaspoon and juice the lemon to obtain 1 tablespoon of fresh juice.
Once the edamame is cooked, drain it in a colander and immediately transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Sprinkle the edamame evenly with the coarse sea salt, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice while it’s still warm. Toss well to coat.
Serve the salted lemon edamame warm or at room temperature in a serving bowl. Enjoy by sliding the beans out of the pods with your teeth.
