Preparation

Step 1

1. Add the sesame seeds to a small, dry skillet over medium- high heat. Toast the seeds while gently shaking the pan until they are browned and fragrant, about 4 minutes; transfer to a small bowl. Add the five-spice powder and the sea salt and stir. Set aside.
2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook 1 bag of the edamame at a time until just tender,
about 5 minutes. Use a wire skimmer to transfer each
batch to a large bowl. Pat the edamame dry, then drizzle
with the toasted sesame oil and toss to coat. Cover the
bowl and refrigerate until chilled.
3. When ready to serve, sprinkle the seasoned sesame seeds over the chilled edamame.
