How to Make Finger Licking Sesame Edamame

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water (about 6 cups) to a rolling boil.
  2. Add 1 pound of shelled edamame to the boiling water. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until bright green and tender-crisp.
  3. While the edamame cooks, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame seeds, and garlic in a medium bowl.
  4. Once cooked, immediately transfer the edamame to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and maintain vibrant color.
  5. Drain the edamame thoroughly.
  6. Gently pat the edamame dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  7. Add the drained edamame to the bowl with the sesame dressing and toss to coat evenly.
  8. Sprinkle with extra sesame seeds for garnish (optional).
  9. Serve immediately. To eat, hold the pod by the stem and gently squeeze the beans out with your fingers or teeth.
