Cook’s Note

2 cups uncooked fresh green shelled soybeans may be substituted for frozen. Boil soybeans in lightly salted water to cover 15 to 20 minutes or until crisp-tender, drain. Plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process; drain. Proceed with recipe as directed. Edamame may also be found fully cooked and ready to eat in the produce section of most supermarkets.
