Natto Recipe for Beginners

Matt

This is a recipe for people who don't like natto. Natto is an ultra-healthy superfood. But many people say it's an acquired taste. I hope this simple and easy recipe, which masked the taste and smell of plain natto, will help you learn to love eating it!

On a cutting board, cut cherry tomatoes into halves or bite-sized chunks. Set aside in a bowl.
Open the packages of natto. Using a spoon, or chopsticks, scoop natto into a bowl.
With a spoon, scoop avocado out of its shell with a spoon. Add to the bowl.

Notes

*It's normal and safe to eat raw egg in Japan. In your home country, please consult with an expert before consuming raw egg because of the risk of salmonella.

*Adjust the amount of olive oil, vinegar, and mustard to your taste. I prefer extra mustard.
