Edamame Pods with Sea Salt

Ingredients

• edamame pods (steamed) 1/10 cup cups
• sea salt to taste

Method

1. Measure Edamame Pods. Using a kitchen scale or measuring cup, measure approximately 1/10 cup (about 96 grams) of steamed edamame pods. This portion is adjusted to meet the target nutritional values exactly.
   Tip: If you only have larger quantities, you can weigh the edamame on a kitchen scale for accuracy.
2. Heat the Edamame. If your edamame pods are pre-steamed and refrigerated, warm them by placing them in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 1 to 2 minutes until hot but not overcooked. Alternatively, you can steam them fresh for about 5 minutes until tender.
   Tip: Avoid overheating to keep the pods tender and flavorful.
3. Season with Sea Salt. Once warm, transfer the edamame pods to a serving bowl. Sprinkle sea salt evenly over the pods according to your taste preference. Start with a small pinch and adjust as needed.
   Tip: Use coarse sea salt for a nice texture contrast.
4. Serve and Enjoy. Serve the seasoned edamame pods immediately while warm. To eat, gently squeeze or bite the beans out of the pods, discarding the shells.
   Tip: Edamame pods are best enjoyed fresh and warm for optimal taste.
