Hands-On Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
For the Chicken Salt:
- 2 bouillon cubes (chicken-flavored)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp celery salt
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp MSG (optional)
For the Edamame:
- 1 lb edamame (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tsp kosher salt (for boiling water)

Instructions
Step 1: Chicken Salt
- In a little bowl, use a fork to crumble the bouillon cubes into a fine powder.
- Include garlic powder, onion powder, celery salt, turmeric, paprika, and MSG (if relevant).
- Whisk until thoroughly mixed.
- Store excess chicken salt in an airtight container at room temperature for up to six months.
