How to Cook Soybeans in a Microwave (3 Steps)
Soybeans -- also known as edamame -- make for a nutritious snack or side dish to a main meal. Low in fat and high in protein, fiber, calcium and a range of vitamins and minerals, it's recommended that you eat 1 to 2 servings of soy foods each day. Cooking soybeans in the microwave is quick way of getting them on your table.
Things You'll Need
- Fresh or frozen soybeans, in their pods
- Microwave-safe bowl
- Water
Instructions
-
Remove the soybeans from their packaging and rinse them well under cold water. If you're using frozen soybeans, allow them to sit out for around an hour to defrost.
-
Place the soybeans in a microwave-safe bowl. For every 5 ounces of soybeans you are going to cook, add roughly 1/2 cup of water to the bowl.
-
Cook on high for 6 minutes. The beans should pop out of their pods easily and be tender, yet still have a small amount of bite.
