PREPARATION: Wash the soybeans thoroughly. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Add the green soybeans (pods and all!), return to a boil and cook until bright green, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain. Sprinkle with salt. Toss and serve hot, warm or chilled with an empty bowl on the side for the pods (which are not digestible).
 
TO EAT: Holding the stem end, place the pod in your mouth, close your teeth gently near the stem and pull the pod out.
