Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Edamame pods
• 1/2 tsp Sea salt
• 1/2 tsp Sesame oil

Steps

1. Bring a medium saucepan of well-salted water to a rolling boil.
2. Add 1.5 cups frozen edamame pods straight from the freezer -- no need to thaw -- and boil 4 minutes until bright green and tender when you bite a bean.
3. Drain in a colander and shake off all the water. Dry pods take the oil much better than dripping ones.
4. Toss the hot pods in a bowl with 1/2 tsp sesame oil until every pod glistens.
5. Shower with 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt, taste one pod, and add another pinch if needed.
6. Serve warm in a bowl, popping the beans out of the pods with your teeth or fingers. The pods themselves are not eaten.
