  2. 02

    Place edamame in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 4 minutes.

  3. 03

    Add peas and continue steaming for another 4-5 minutes until both are bright green and tender.

  4. 04

    Transfer to a blender with 4-5 tablespoons of steaming liquid (edamame needs extra moisture).
