Instructions

1
Ingredients needed: edamame, star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, salt.
2
Rinse the edamame several times until clean.
3
Put a suitable amount of water in the pot, not too much, just enough to cover the edamame slightly. Add star anise and Sichuan peppercorns in cold water.
4
Add 2–3 spoons of powdered salt.
5
Heat until boiling, and use a spatula to stir and dissolve the salt at the bottom of the pot.
6
Cook for about 3 minutes.
7
Add the edamame and cook over medium-high heat for about ten minutes, until some of the pods start to crack. Pick two pods that haven't cracked and taste them; if there's no bean odor and the beans are cooked, it's ready.
8
Turn off the heat and quickly scoop out the edamame with a strainer, spreading them out in a container to cool.
9
The edamame and the soup should be cooled separately and thoroughly.
10
After it cools completely, use scissors to cut off both ends of the edamame.
11
Put everything into the broth after it has completely cooled to soak. If you like it slightly spicy, you can add a Thai chili; if not, just leave it out.
12
Done.
