It takes about 10 minutes to cook edamame.

Edamame is a relatively fresh ingredient, and it usually takes a short time to cook. It only takes about ten minutes after the pot is opened. And after the pot is boiled, do not cover the lid when the edamame is cooked. If the cooking time is too long or the pot is covered, the edamame will turn black or be overcooked, which will cause the beans to lose their mellow flavor and directly worsen their taste.

Extended information:

1. Select according to color. The appearance of fresh edamame is emerald green, while those that are green and yellow are mostly old. Such edamame has a poor taste and should not be purchased.

2. Observe the surface villi. When edamame is first picked, there is a layer of fluff on its surface, and this layer of fluff appears upright. If stored for a long time, this layer of fluff will become soft or even fall off.

3. Observe the surface shape. The surface shape of high-quality edamame is uneven because the beans inside are full, while inferior edamame looks flatter.

4. Knead the edamame with your hands. Gently pinch the edamame with your thumb and index finger. If the beans inside the edamame are very full, it will have a certain hardness. Otherwise, the edamame is of poor quality.
