1. 1

   NOTE: "If you're ever lucky enough to spot fresh green soybeans for sale in an Asian grocery or farmer's market, grab them for an unforgettable taste treat. You'll recognize these diminutive specimens - about 2 inches long - by the delicate brown fuzz covering their green pods. (Backyard gardeners, take note: I've been told that they're extremely easy to grow.) More readily available, but slightly second-best, are the frozen green soybeans found in many Asian groceries. Defrost them, then follow the same directions for preparation.

   Called Edamame by the Japanese, soybeans in the pod are traditionally served as finger food. Before cooking, they are often rubbed in salt to remove the fuzz from their pods. Alternatively, they are boiled in heavily salted water to fix color and intensify flavor. I don't bother with either approach, finding their looks and subtle but extraordinary flavor need no enhancement.
