Notes
Pro Tips

Don't overcook the edamame - they should be tender but still have some bite. The Hawaiian black salt is dramatic but regular sea salt works fine. Serve in a bowl for easy snacking with an empty bowl for pods.

History & Origin

Edamame has been enjoyed in Japan for centuries and spread to Hawaii through Japanese immigration. The Hawaiian twist comes from using local sea salts like black lava salt, which adds visual drama and mineral complexity.
