Boiled edamame

The sides of the edamame should be cut off to make it easier to absorb the flavor.

Put star anise, Sichuan pepper, cinnamon, and salt in a pot, boil for three minutes, then pour out and let it cool.

Boil the edamame in water without covering the pot at any time. I add a little baking soda, and you can also add oil and salt to prevent discoloration.

After cooking, remove and place it in the spiced water that was just boiled to soak for more than three hours to absorb the flavor.

Actually, it's best to let the spice water cool, add ice cubes, and then soak the edamame, which should be cooked and then soaked in the spice water for three to four hours.

You can eat it once you scoop it out.
