Hi there
When it comes to Natto, Japanese fermented beans, you either love it or hate it, but surprisingly for myself, I hated it at first and now I am eating it every week.
This slimy fermented beans are so humble and so healthy, now I really understand why Japanese loves it. Every week, I need my fix by going to Meidiya japanese supermarket and get my weekly supply.
There are various ways of eating it, but I like to eat it with cucumbers or if I feel like splurging, goes with Maguro tuna or Ika squid sashimi, both are really good too!
As Natto contains not just one but many healthy components like calcium, iron, protein, potassium, magnesium and many others, it is really power food.
It is so easy to prepare as well, basically just mix the natto with the dressing given in the pack, which is usually dashi or some flavoured dressing, mixed it until it goes all gooey and slimy and then pour it over the rest of the ingredients, it is so simple, you can even make it simplier by just adding mustard or wasabi, it taste equally great.
