Edamame shoots are tender enough to eat raw, but can also be very lightly cooked (steamed, blanched, very lightly sautéed).
Serve edamame shoots lightly sprinkled with salt for an unusual twist on the traditional edamame soy bean appetizer.
Use them as a garnish for seafood or sushi/sashimi platters, as a bed for chicken, or added to sandwiches instead of (or in addition to) sprouts or other greens.
