How to make it

5 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Place the warm steamed rice

    Place the warm steamed rice into a deep serving bowl.

  2. Open the natto package

    Open the natto package and remove the plastic film. Add the soy sauce (or the provided dashi sauce) and the mustard to the soybeans.

  3. Stir the natto vigorously

    Using chopsticks, stir the natto vigorously in its container or a small bowl for about 30-50 strokes until it becomes very sticky, bubbly, and white strings appear.

  4. Pour the whipped natto mixture

    Pour the whipped natto mixture over the center of the warm rice.

  5. Garnish with chopped green onions

    Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.

A little kitchen wisdom

Stirring the natto until it becomes pale and stringy is essential for the best texture and flavor. Use freshly steamed rice for the best experience.

Keep the good going

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

Rice can be cooked ahead and reheated. Natto should be mixed just before serving.

Store & enjoy

Store leftover rice and natto separately in airtight containers in the fridge. Reheat rice with a splash of water. Do not microwave natto as it changes the texture and smell.

Allergens
