Other Answers:
it's best not to. drop the edamame in salted boiling water for a few minutes to reheat.

Cooking and Storing Edamame
To cookedamame, add the whole pods to boiling water. Boil the pods for five minutes, then drain and cool them slightly. By lightly squeezing one end of the pod, the beans will pop out the other end. Trying to shell the beans before cooking is an unrewarding task as the pod sticks tightly to the bean (Figure 5).

Figure 5. Edamame beans on a plate (enlarged picture).

Cooking separates the bean from the pod, enabling the beans to pop out quickly and painlessly. Edamame can also be cooked in a microwave. Rinse the pods and place them in a covered microwave-safe dish. Suggested cooking rates are 4-5 minutes on high or full power for 2 cups of pods. Edamame can be kept fresh in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks. If you wish to store them longer, we suggest blanching the whole pods for 2-3 minutes and freezing them in the pod. When using frozen edamame for a meal, cook them for 5 minutes in boiling water or 3-4 minutes in the microwave on high or full power.


Edamame Recipes
Edamame can be eaten freshly cooked (squeezed from pod to mouth), for a delicious and nutritious snack. When adding edamame to recipes, cook them first. Edamame may be used as a substitute for lima beans or peas in any recipe. Try edamame as an accompaniment to mushroom dishes, potato and leek soup, mashed potatoes, spaghetti squash, or other savory winter vegetable recipes.

In stir fries: Boil or microwave the pods and shell the beans as suggested above. Toss edamame beans into a stir fry with other chinese vegetables including cabbage, bean sprouts, and bamboo shoots. Or, add edamame to an American starry of beets, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, or most any other vegetable.

In rice dishes: The delicate flavor of edamame lends itself well as an accompaniment to Basmati or Jasmine white rices. Cook the edamame and toss into cooked rice and serve.

In pasta dishes: Add edamame to Asian style pasta salads such as sesame noodles. Or add edamame to your favorite pasta salad.

Frozen or fresh?

Frozen edamame can be warmed up nicely in the microwave. Cook them about the same amount of time that you would for froze peas or frozen corn. Thus, for a bowl to serve 2 people, 3-4 minutes would be fine. Simply pour them in a serving bowl, put a lid on it, and cook (don't add water). When ready, sprinkle on salt and pepper or other seasonings of choice.

I've never tried microwaving fresh edamame, and I don't know that I would recommend it. Instead, get some water boiling in a big pot, and once it's boiling, dump the edamame in and continue boiling for 4-6 minutes. Then drain, and season. i usually just put the whole sealed bag into the microwave for about three minutes for frozen edamame.
don't bother with the boiling water and stuff. i've tried both ways and it's the same thing.
if the edamame are in an open bag, you could put them in a ziploc or in a plastic container with a lid. i get frozen edamame and all i do is put them in a bowl and heat in the microwave.works just as well as boiling.fast, simple and easy!
