🛒 Ingredients & Materials

• Ita-san unsalted edamame (1000 g)

• IKEA pot (for boiling water)

• Amazon steamer (to keep edamame above boiling water)

• Water (enough to create steam below the steamer tray)

✨ Our Twist

• Steam Instead of Microwave: Using an induction stovetop for a fresher texture and even cooking. And also because we don’t have a microwave!

📋 Steps

1. Boil Water: Add enough water to fill the gap under the steamer in the pot, cover with lid, and heat until steaming.

2. Cook Edamame: Place the desired amount of frozen edamame in the steamer tray.

3. Steam Until Soft: Wait 7 to 10 minutes at medium-high heat (7 or 8 out of 10) checking for the desired tenderness.

🍽️ Serving Recommendation

• Sprinkle with Kosher salt for a classic touch & because it sticks nicely.

• Toss with chili flakes and sesame oil for extra flavour.

• Serve alongside soy sauce or ponzu for dipping.

📝 Notes for Next Time

• Want a richer taste? Try steaming with garlic-infused water.

• For extra crispness: Flash-cool edamame in cold water after steaming.

• Try flavored toppings: Mix with furikake or toasted sesame seeds.
