EDAMAME

These can be eaten as an informal cold snack, in the Japanese manner, scraped from the pod with your teeth. Once cooked, shelled edamame can be roasted as for Roasted Chickpeas.

Boil or steam until tender, 4 to 5 minutes:

  • 1 pound frozen edamame in the pod

Drain. Toss with:

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • (1 teaspoon shichimi togarashi)

Serve warm.
