   prep · ~6 min

   Steam the edamame.

   1.Fill a medium saucepan with 2 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat.

   2.Place frozen edamame in a steamer basket and set it over the boiling water.

   3.Cover and steam until pods are bright green and beans are tender, about 5 minutes.

   TIPDon't thaw the edamame first — steaming from frozen keeps the beans plump and tender.
