EDAMAME
Step 1
Into a large pot, pour water to a depth of about 1/2″. Stir in 2 teaspoons kosher salt, then bring to a boil.
Step 2
In a steam basket, place edamame and lower into pot. Cover and steam until beans are fully tender, 8 to 10 minutes. It may take longer if frozen.
Step 3
Drain beans and transfer to a large bowl. Add 1 teaspoon chicken salt, season with kosher salt, and toss well to combine.
Simple, steamed edamame is an amazing snack that is nutritious and comes together really quickly. The little soybeans are endlessly poppable and are a fun, hands-on hors d’oeuvre.
Like sunflower seeds though, half the reason you eat edamame is for the salt on the outside of the pod. And you can absolutely throw standard salt on there, but we urge you to get a little creative. You could use a store-bought seasoning like tajín or Cajun seasoning. Or you could opt for something a little more unique by way of the Land Down Under.
Australians have a bit of an obsession with something called chicken salt. It was created in the 1970s by a rotisserie chicken shop owner named Peter Brinkworth as a seasoning for his French fries and roast chickens. Chicken salt eventually became so popular, he began selling jars of the stuff. Now it has become the default seasoning for fries throughout the country, and we think that it’s a perfect way to amp up this classic snack.
If you’re sick of steaming, you can give roasting your edamame a shot. But if you did try this recipe, let us know how it came out in the comments below!
