Edamame Snacks

Place edamame in a pan of boiling, salted water and blanch for 4-5 minutes.

Drain and then blot them dry and sprinkle liberally with kosher or flaky sea salt.

To eat the edamame, squeeze or bite the beans into your mouth as you pull the edamame through your teeth. You don't eat the pod, just the edamame beans inside, which pop out quite easily. Make sure you provide a bowl for the discarded pods.

Variation:

After blotting the edamame, place them in a bowl and drizzle with a tablespoon or so of extra virgin olive oil and several squeezes of lemon juice. Sprinkle liberally with kosher or flaky sea salt. Serve with lemon wedges
