Boil edamame: Bring a large pot of salted water to boil over medium-high heat. Add edamame and cook until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain edamame.
Season edamame: Transfer edamame to a large bowl. Add sesame oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with Shichimi Togarashi, sesame seeds, and salt. Toss to coat. Taste and adjust seasonings (see note 2).
Notes
Shichimi Togarashi: A Japanese spice blend that typically includes red chili pepper, sesame seeds, orange peel ginger, seaweed, and a few other ingredients. Shichimi is often sold in small cylindrical glass containers (often with a red lid). Look for it at Asian markets, at well stocked grocery stores, or online. Adjust amount based on your spice preference.
Storage/make ahead tips: Store extras in an airtight container for up to 4 days. The salt granules will dissolve over time, so season with salt just before eating, if you can. Edamame can be eaten warm or cold. Once refrigerated, we recommend just enjoying them cold!
