Ingredients
Scale
- 1 natto box
- Your pairing of choice (white rice, toast, salad)
Instructions
- Mix Well: Stirring natto vigorously can improve its texture and bring out its flavors. The more you mix, the more the sticky strings will form, which is a hallmark of well-prepared natto.
- Add Toppings: Enhance the flavor by adding condiments like soy sauce, mustard, chopped green onions, or a raw egg yolk. These additions can help balance the strong taste of natto.
- Pair with Rice: Serving natto over a bowl of hot steamed rice can mellow its intense flavor and provide a more balanced taste experience. If eating natto on its own is too challenging, try incorporating it into other dishes. Natto can be added to salads, miso soup, omelets, or even sushi rolls.
