i love natto

How to eat natto
Nowadays, the natto product is packed in small plastic packages with soy sauce and mustard..
One pack is about 50grams.



Most popular way to prepare natto is as follows.

1. Please put natto into a suitable porcelain bowl.
2. Stir the natto with chopsticks or other suitable tool. Do not mash. Stir fast and well. (Not 1 hour, 60 seconds is enough:-p)
3. Pour the soy sauce and mix mustard.
4. If spring onions are available, it is recommended to finely chop these and mix in. Then put a spoon of natto on steamed rice and eat them together.



i love this food. i think i eat it everyday. wikipedia says "Foreigners in Japan trying natto for the first time generally tend to either love it or hate it." i think i fall under the love it category

not only is it good but according to wikipedia, i shouldnt get blood clots, cancer, thrombosis, dysentery...here read this...
