Last year, I started to eat natto for brekfast - and made it a part of my weekly diet. Natto is fermented soybeans that have a very sticky texture! Over the months, I've tried out many variations (some were too complex) - but these 3 simple recipes got me hooked. Try any of them out - and introduce more natto into your weekly diet.

Katie calling you a Japanese house wife...golden 😂😂😂
4:01 u said "the healthy gut in your bacteria" instead of the other way around :P LMAO love you guys
LOL I DIED 🤣
you heard right lol
Was wondering if anyone else noticed
Most fermented foods I’ve had, like kimchis, zhacai, yacai, or sauces like doenjang and sauce tofu, are so strong flavored. Natto’s mild flavor surprised me.
I feel exactly the same as you Kat-- natto smells like coffee grounds in a jar and just tastes a bit earthy and bitter-- nowhere near as pungent as doenjang or kimchi, you're so right. Those other things absolutely stink out my fridge and I can totally see why some people have a second smaller fridge in their kitchen for storing these sorts of foods.
@@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 YES thank you, you're right they totally remind me of coffee grounds! I was trying to figure out what the smell reminded me of!
@@katl8825 A guy posted this similarity on a Reddit forum and I tried it out; held a jar of coffee in one hand and a little tray of Natto in another and swiped between the two, alternating a few times, sniffing deeply. I chuckled out loud because he's totally right. I'm so amused that you smell it too. :)
Yes I was so worried about trying it after seeing all the bad reviews about it’s smell. But I found it to be really mild! Sometimes the slimy texture weirds me out still, but I’m actually acquiring a taste for that. It’s just so different from the foods I grew up eating (mostly German and Hungarian traditional foods).
I know these are old comments but try some baking soda and lemon in a little pot, and leave it in your fridge, that should help with the smells 👍
Store-bought natto smells like ground coffee beans and instant coffee too, for that matter. Weird. The best thing to mix into it is Kewpie Deep Roasted Sesame Dressing, just a small dollop and mix. I'd be so thrilled for just one person to try this and go 'WOW! Yeah!' But your suggestion of adding chopped avocado to my Kewpie Sesame Natto sounds even better, so I'd better level up tomorrow morning. ;)
I saw your comment the other day and tried this. So here you go - WOW, YEAH! This really was it for me. When I tried Natto I was surprised how mild it was considering its notorious reputation, and honestly beyond the fun texture it bored me. Like bland nutty beans with a hint of instant coffee and a very slight “off” aroma. I tried a lot of things to make it shine, and roasted sesame sauce was the key - it was exactly what it needed, it doesn’t hide the flavor, it’s not too different, but it adds some sweet richness and really allows the texture and body of the beans to do their job
@@LAK_770 YESSSS! Oh dude you've made my day, seriously. 🥇🍻😃Thanks for taking the time to leave such a terrific comment: just the right amount of elaboration, just the right amount of background info and context-- and just the right amount of You. 💝I laughed out loud. Now we must be evangelical and spread the word so other people can enjoy natto even more too. We have the key!
Totally agree. On my first try I nearly throw away the other two packs. After the third one I went out to buy another three... 😀
That 3rd one feels very California. I bet it'd taste good with a little grated garlic and lime. I'll have to try it!
i absolutely hated natto as a kid, but then i got a crazy craving for it one day. loved natto ever since!!
Another great thing about natto - it's one of the very few foods with Vitamin K2, which has huge health benefits
Yes! Eaten with mackerel or salmon and voila, you've got your D vitamins to aid in fighting certain, ahem, viruses. ;)
@Jack Sparrow All good advice Jack, I'm with you all the way. :)
I really couldn't handle natto the first time. Then one time I was drunk at an izakaya, a friend ordered a squid and natto don for me and that definitely got me hooked. I eat natto for breakfast all the time now lol. I personally like it with the usual soy sauce and mustard packets and LOTS of black pepper!
"healthy gut in your bacteria" that got my mind loading HAHAHA love your vids!!
I am addicted to natto starting this year. I especially love natto on the toast. I normally put natto with green onion, melted cheese and ham. If I am feeling fancy, I make miso mayo sauce to spread it thinly on the toast, so goodd.
The first time I had natto I was put off by the texture, the second time it was alright, and by the third time I was hooked. Now I actively have it for breakfast every other day or so and love it. You just need to get used to it
You should try natto toast. It's the only way I can eat natto. The contrast in texture is great and you can add a fried egg or even cheese.
Happy New Year! Thanks for all tge recipes!
this is good stuff!!! great video!!!
The first time I had natto was an accident, I ordered a maguro hand roll in a very loud sushi restaurant and the chef misheard me. But I am polite so I ate it and I didn't hate it! Later I got some umeboshi (pickled Japanese apricot) and black vinegar natto at the Japanese market and that stuff is delicious.
Thank you so muchhhh
Very inspirational video, thanks! :)
Nice creative approach!
You did a good job 👍💚
Thanks!
This is amazing !!! And i just discover thisss!!!!
I’m so happy that this video came out because I just got a three pack of natto a few days ago and am excited to try all of these!
I've never tried it, but you've convinced me to give it a try👍🤞😁
Thank you!🙏🤍
The second version I might try .
Great video! I am always trying to explain natto to friends, you got it all in to a single video!
There is nothing more delicious than natto with white rice and egg with brown butter drizzle. I could eat that three times a day and never get tired of it.
It took me about 5 times of eating natto to start liking it. Now I crave it all the time! I like to add soysauce, Sesame oil, fukujinzuke, green onion, and furikake. Such a delicious meal for anytime of day!
me too! the first several tries gave me some weird feelings, but it started to grow on me after 3-4 tries and it's kinda addicting haha
yeah, well, add those seasonings to a brick and it will be tasty :)
Nice variation.
Love this
Thank you Daniel for showing me how good natto can be, tried all of these variations and turns out I love it!
so amazing recipes :)
These are some great ideas, thank you! I'm in that "I want to like it but still struggling with the texture" phase. Much appreciated :D
Thank you for this video. I just tried natto for the first time. So far so good. I want to try and eat it 3x week for health. It is good for bone health.
Am I glad I came across your channel. I saw how a spouse of a vlogger make natto & it was so off-putting, not something I would attempt. But your demo has changed my mind & I will definitely get a pack of natto to try. Thank you for sharing. A happy 2021 to you & family.
P/S I've subscribed to your channel.
Gonna try Version 3 very soon. Has all my fave goodness in a bowl. Natto avo and eggo. Omg. I can't wait to try this
Your recepies are easy and tasty, my husband is pretty satisfied about my level in cooking korean food
My Korean husband always says my food is delicious when I follow your recipes. We wanted to eat natto a few days ago so I searched Future Neighbor Natto Recipe but there was none! And funnily enough, now there is!
Fantastic video! Greetings from Malaysia!
Yes, sir. I will give it another try. I've been avoiding natto ever since I heard "natto" from your channel.
Mmm.. Looks delicious. I'll definitely try them! 😋
Another 2 japanese ways to eat natto are with grated daikon, and the other one is with raw tuna (thinly diced to easily mix) .
As simple and delicious as your receipes.
Thanks again for your videos and wish you guys a wonderful New Year! ❤️
I've been meaning to try natto, because I loooove fermented foods. I just keep forgetting! 🤣 I'll use this as a guide to start with. ♥️
I guess I will have to trust you Daniel, you've never steered me wrong.
I grew up eating slimy and odd textured things due to traditional food and natto still gives me the creeps lol. would love to try the Korean stew though!
Happy new year Daniel and Katie! Love you much.
P.S. Katie had me rolling with the house wife comment lol.
I love the stuff. Glad to see the Korean adaptation.
Hahaha, this Japanese-American has been doing this recipe forever... kimchi and everything! ;). Egg, natto, & kimchi (avo when available) make a perfect meal any time! Natto fried rice is amazing as well- I think Katie might say su-goi(!) to that!
So yum looking😋! I love fermented foods... Could you make chungukjang jiggae? I adore that stew... It's even better than natto, I think... 💙💙
Love natto, can't eat it alone though 😂 Rice and soy sauce are a must. And omg, those natto packets are huge, with all that mustard? Dream come true! 🤤 Wish we had those in the US.
I tried it once and really didn’t like it. Then I went to Japan and had it for breakfast every day and I’m in love, it’s so good! I’m actually prepping to make my own here at home. I hope it works!!!
I always do the original version with a drop of sesame oil. It’s sooo delicious
🤤 The avocado version had me googling nearest Asian grocery opening soon
Thank for this video. Funny and informative! I’ve tried natto once and will give another try today. You two are funny!
Definitely something I will look to get at the Korean market. I moved to the US 3 years ago and my weight became out of control so i switch to eating almost exclusively Korean and Japanese food and I've lost 14kg so far.
14KG?! Woah - keep it up - excited to hear that you're finding success with the switch up in diet.
@@FutureNeighbor thank you. Only another 15kg to go! Watching your channel has really helped me to love cooking again and experimenting in the kitchen 😊
Tried it for the first time today, I found the sauce mine came with was very mild. Added a few dashes of shoyu, a fried egg, and a sliced green onion. Definitely funkier than I expected but it's doable with enough sauce!
Always referred to natto as Beans and Snot. Its definitely an acquired taste. I usually just have it over rice but I'd like to try the avocado version maybe with tortilla chips. The kimchi made it look a bit more appealing so people might prefer that. Thanks for another great video!! Katie cracks me up. Daniel a housewife. Lmao
I've been eyeing the natto at my mart, thanks for the tips! Trying to get some pep back in my step after a lot of dairy on the holidays!
My secret weapon is a small drizzle of Kewpie Deep Roasted Sesame Dressing. But this video inspired me to add chopped, creamy avocado into it also. Not sure why I hadn't thought of including it up until now. Such a great channel, hey? Good luck shifting the 'cheese' weight this January. I too indulged a little too enthusiastically over December. ;)
I’m going to try the avocado and egg natto!
Wow I can do this. just got my nattomoto spores and soy. like these recipes.
I just found your channel and all I have to say is...
I want those in my belly right now. It looks so good!
Hey do a what I eat in a day video with the most trad Korean recipes
The strand in the eye 😂😂👌🏽
So funny, i was looking up health benefits of natto.
I have had natto a few times and didn't like it much but you're 100% right-- its one of those things you should try when you see it because you may come around to it.
I've heard of Natto before, and I haven't tried it yet. If I make one of the 3 recipes, I think I would love to try the 3rd recipe with avocado first.
I havent eaten natto for awhile and been thinking about it recently! avocado with natto is hella bomb ☺️ I usually eat natto with the sauces it comes with, add raw egg, bit of sesame oil, green onions, and rice. sometimes I like to add shiso, nagaimo, and/or ume 🥰
natto toast is also 👊
I miss real Korean food.. I was stationed in TDC and found some very interesting little shops.. AWESOME food.
The first time I tried natto, I didn't like it. It had a rather chemically flavor to it. I bought it from a local Chinese grocery store. It was the kind that comes in the styrofoam.
The second time I tried natto, I bought it from NYrture. Now I'm addicted!! I love it. I now have natto 2-3 times a week for breakfast.
I really want to try the third dish you made with the avocado. Thanks for the recipes!
Love natto. So trying the avocado version next time!
Love natto, thanks for this episode. The avocado version looked delicious, I have to try that.
If you live in Stockholm, you can find it in the freezer at Japanska Torget on Tegnérgatan. It is kind of expensive though, and it doesn't feel very environmentally friendly with all these styrofoam and plastic packages.
You can buy a big pack of the bacteria online, for instance from Amazon, for almost nothing, and then buy big bags of dried soybeans and ferment yourself if you have equipment like a yogurt or fermentation machine. The bacteria likes it to be warmer than the lactic-acid bacteria used for instance kombucha or kimchi apparently, so room temperature won't work. I'm seriously considering it, but it's yet another appliance in a kitchen already crowded with them...
when I went to Japan I tried natto and didn't like it. I saw some natto in the store today and I'm eating it over rice with green onions, furikake, and fried crispy onions. It's very good! Thank you for encouraging me to try it again :)
Avocado goes amazing with natto!
I need to increase my K2 intake according to my cardiologist. You have given me a couple of good recipes to try. Thanks.
I’ll definitely have to try these combos. The first time I tried Natto, I didn’t really like it. But I’d give it another try :)
it is an acquired taste
Also, you look good in beanies! You look great!
👀I literally just bought 3 packages of natto? How did you know!!! Thank you for your eerily relevant videos lol 💖💖💖
You're right-- it took me about three tries to get on the natto bandwagon. The first time we had it at school, I was like 'eugh no this isn't for me.' I could get past the stank, but not the texture! The next time I managed to eat about half of the little cup-- one of my fellow teachers gave me the tip of not mixing it so much to reduce the slimy texture and it really helped! The third time I ate the whole thing! That slimy texture is really prized here (Japan) compared to abroad, where that texture is pretty reviled.
I buy natto with pickled plum seasoning packet. I eat it almost every day over hot rice with some green onion, and a drizzle of sesame oil and soy sauce. 😋
I didn't like it the first time. But then I found myself craving it. Now I eat it all the time.
I've always been curious about natto. Maybe five or six years ago I tried it for the very first time and enjoyed it! The taste was pretty bland on its own (so you def need the seasoning packets) and the smell/texture is not at all offensive once you get used to it. My husband likes it a lot too!
Awesome
Omg! I was just wondering if kimchi could be paired with natto and I am now so excited to have it for dinner (trying natto for the 1st time XD )
I tried natto for the first time with the avocado! Really like it! Thank you for the different ways to prepare it:)
One could make natto-cado toast!
im malaysian living in tokyo,u are absolutely right.the first time i tried natto i can stand the smell and taste,after the third time i fall in love with natto.ooishi.I want to try your natto,rice and sunny side up egg.
i tried natto at a conveyor belt sushi place once and i thought it tasted faintly of a hot dumpster. but I'll give these new ways of eating it a try! i like to try things until i like them but i just havent gotten quite there yet with natto.
The avocado version looked delicious, I have to try that.😋
Natto omelette is amazing aswell !!!
Never heard of this. I’ll look for it at the HMart. Something new to try this year! Thanks for sharing all the different versions!!
HMart has it for sure! Quite a few brands come in the frozen section in 3 packs. I tried so so hard to like it. I wanted to eat it for my bones! Getting your nutrients from food is so much better then a pill! I eat kimchi, kombucha, milk and water kefir, homemade sauerkraut, I’m not afraid of unique tastes. NOT Notto! I tried it for lunch for two weeks thinking I could get used to it! Nope! Never ever ever did! Ate with all the seasonings! Eggs, rice, green onions. Nope! It’s a taste if you like it you can do it! But after 12 or 13 times eating it, I could not get it down. Good luck! I hope you like the taste! Me, not so much...
@@smileytow1925 Ha, I love this and I totally agree with your fifth sentence.
Nepal has the best fermented soybean recipe hands down!
Hmmm i gotta try the natto avocado combo. I personally LOVE natto since the 1st time it touched my palate. I don’t like it w/ the sauce tho. I only add the mustard into my natto then eat w/ rice
Thanks for sharing these recipes. I can't wait to try them. I made my own natto but I didn't love the taste. I kind of forced myself to eat it because I know that it is good for you. I froze the majority of it hoping I would convince myself to try it again. I put them in ice cube trays. Tomorrow morning I will take it out of the freezer and try one of these recipes. Thank you so much!!!
Just had natto for the first time today. I thought it was decent (and I'm a picky eater !!) They smell was not as bad as I thought. I used pita chips. But glad I watched your video before trying it.
I tried it without green onion. No t a fan! I’ll get some over the weekend and try again 👩🏻🍳
Delicious food
I finally found an Onlineshop in Germany selling it and I love it even though for someone from the EU the consistency is a bit strange. I actually find it fun
Kannst du den Shop verlinken 🥺🙏🏼, danke und frohes Neues!
@@kimchikat2169 Maybe it's www.nanuko.de/NATTO/en
@@marioyip yeap one of the one's I linked but dawayo.de has even more stuff so I alternate
@@marioyip thanks a lot!
Love❤️love❤️love❤️you guys🙏🏼🇨🇦❤️🙏🏼❤️
Amazing recipes!
The combination of Natto and Kimchi never fails.
You probably cook better than certain Japanese housewives （me!）😂
Omg I’ve been obsessed with natto lately and I’ve been trying different bean sizes and different ways to eat it. Love that you did a video on it! More people need to try it 😄
How did the different size beans work? I made once with Laura organic beans but no slim was result,perhaps because I lightly sprouted.
@@RobertaPeck oh do you mean you made it from scratch? Like fermented the beans?? If so, mad respect - so cool! I just bought different packs of natto; tiny beans, standard, large, and chopped 😁
Do you know what store I can buy Natto .Like convenience stores?
@@chaukergazel1700 I go to a local Japanese grocery store called Uwajimaya, but I’ve seen them at other Asian grocery stores too 😊 Good luck finding them!
Thank you
Don't natto knock it til you've tried it! I have tried it once in Tokyo served like the first preparation and it activated my gag reflex. Will persevere! I just have to source it here in Manila... Thanks, Neighbor! 2nd or 3rd time should hopefully be the charm!
Is it hard to find natto in Phillipines?
Dan-Yul, I’ve been obsessed with Natto ever since I watched this video! (I even found a sushi place that makes Natto with Squid sashimi! Yum!)
This may be ambitious but is there anyway you can teach us how to make homemade Natto? 😋🙏🤤
Haha I love it when he says bacteria and he say what I’m saying 🤣🤣 today I heard about it and for sure tomorrow I’ll go purchase it or whenever I can because I wanna make it happened🤣 wish me luck
Although I didn't like natto the first time I tried it, I challenged myself to keep giving it a go. Now I love it! First time I really found it delicious was at a countryside inn, over hot rice with lots of green onion for breakfast. I also love tororo (grated yam), another slimy food. So good over the barley/rice they serve at gyutan (beef tongue) restaurants. Miss both foods so much!
Oh yes, tororo is great too! The combination you mention with gyutan... bringing back izayaka memories from Japan!
