Cook without lid for 8 to 12 minutes. If using instant pot, then steam using pressure cook function for 3 to 5 minutes.
Frozen beans will cook faster than fresh beans. Also depending on the size of pods, they can take less or more time to cook.
Strain all of the water once the beans are cooked.
You can opt to shock the beans in ice cold water to retain color if you prefer.
After draining all the water, transfer the beans onto a serving plate.
Sprinkle some salt. Toss and mix the beans with the salt. Can serve hot or warm or at room temperature.

Heat oil on a low to medium-low heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for a few seconds.
Add the cooked edamame beans.
Mix well and sauté for a minute on low heat
Add red chili flakes, white pepper or black pepper, dark soy sauce. I have used white pepper. You can omit white or black pepper.
Mix well and sauté for a minute.
Season with salt, sugar and mirin.
Mix and sauté for a minute on low heat.
Serve hot or warm.
Notes
Instead of dark soy sauce, you can add light soy sauce or regular soys sauce. Add about 1 to 2 teaspoons of either.
Ensure to use fresh and green edamame bean pods. You could also use frozen beans. Note that frozen edamame will take less time to cook than fresh edamame.
For the salt, you can use either sea salt, pink salt, edible rock salt or kosher salt, or regular salt.
Swap the mirin with rice vinegar and add a bit of sugar to balance the sourness of the vinegar.
