We buy frozen bags of edamame from Costco. Pop the bag in the microwave for 4 minutes, open bag, dump in bowl, add salt. Delicious! Neither me or my kids can taste the difference from restaurants!

I love boiling mine with a bit of soy sauce and sugar. Then I add sea salt or Kosher salt to them. YUM!!

I'm growing them in my garden this year, so far they are doing great!

I bet the restaurant is microwaving frozen ones too.

I always have a bag of frozen shelled edamame in the freezer. They cook very quickly in boiling water and having them frozen helps with portion needs. I put them in soup and pasta.

Salt's optional.


+1. The bag was purchased from Trader Joes.

I think soy is like corn, grown for both humans and livestock. Some varieties may taste better than others.

You can also steam them or put them in boiling water for a few minutes. My kids love these too.

Yes, but don't steal them. Get permission to pick and offer to pay.

Yep. Pop them in the microwave and add some salt. Taste the same.
