I feel this hard. My family is Eastern European I used to think sauerkraut was disgusting. Years later I eat it all the time, and kimchi and miso soup and kombucha. Their just so fucking good man
You don't have to just toss the bonito flakes...dry-fry them in a pan with a little soysauce and sugar and let cool. Use to top rice. Where I live, katsuobushi is too expensive to just toss out after you make soup.
You save the bonito afterwards and make Furikake with it. He doesn't explain that, but you dry fry it with seaweed and put in a container to top the rice.
That seaweed is like reverse spinach, instead of starting out with a pan ful and ending with one leaf, they start out with a spoonful and end up being so much more lol. It surprised me how much bigger they got at the end
some plants are shockingly high in water, with seaweed it's because it needs to be boyant so it has to have a high moisture content to stay aloft underwater and spinach it just _seems_ alot bigger since it takes up alot of space for a fairly light weight so when it collapses as it cooks it appears to shrivel up to nothing. That's one of the reasons why I like to buy frozen spinach, it's much cheaper and since it's compressed before freezing (you can get it in compressed blocks or partially compressed loose leaves) you get a more accurate idea of how much spinach you've actually got.
@@arthas640 Frozen spinach: not as good. Also: you don't have to clean the sand out of it by sloshing it in a pot of water five times or buy it in a bag for $10 a pound, and it sits in the freezer ready to go and not rotting in the frig instead when you forget about it for a few days. If it's going in a soup it's going to come out about the same anyway.
Usually people cut soft tofu in their palm so it doesn't crumble or break when they move it from the cutting board to the pot-- yours turned out fine though!
@@FutureNeighbor If you have a spare small cutting board that you can lift to your pot, you don't need to bother with the anxiety of cutting it on your palm :)
I'm Japanese, and I remember when my Mexican husband first pointed this out to me one day during lunch. It honestly blew my mind, I had never thought of it that way before LOL.

And this is why they live longer. Look at all that good for you stuff. That and more walking cause their public transport works and yearly hospital check ups that are affordable.
In my case I cant keep down fish or anything related to the sea/rivers (so kombu, nori, salmon, and bonito are all out for me :/ ), literally all I'd be able to eat of this are a miso broth of just miso paste and green onion, the rice with umeboshi, and natto. And the lemon slice xD
Gabi Also has to do with their Japanese environment+climate, bio-chemical balances, genetics, cultural aesthetic expressions and their idealized style(s) of physical stability, etc....
First time I tried natto it tasted bitter and like old medicine (smelled that way too), I used it in fried rice and the funky smell+taste would still permeate through. I think that that particular natto was a bit off, a friend had brought it for me all the way from Japan, in his luggage. :)) After trying natto the second time (this time bought from the local asian shop) I fell in love with it, it's subtly sweet and nutty and the texture creammy, it goes so well with rice. Yumm!!
I'm a Canadian and I'm used to a more traditional western breakfast. But last year I got to try breakfast in Kyoto, which they're apparently famous for according to my Japanese wife, and I was amazed at how much I enjoyed it.
I just made this. I am so pleased. I feel accomplished because i learned so many new things along the way. And I'm very impressed with this meal from a different beautiful culture.
His reactions and actions and the way he talks is just so cute to me. This was on my recommended most likely because I'm obsessed with watching food videos and how to make Asian foods, and I'm glad I got to see this.
I loved having Japanese breakfast while I was there. Want to eat fish for brekkie all the time tbh. I personally loved natto right out. The mustard was the main part of the taste to me but it felt nice, the webs were fun, a little tricky.
ooh, lovely spread! and thanks for the cucumber salad recipe- i've been growing lots of cucumbers and have had no idea what to do with them! i'll try this now!
First time I ate natto it was homemade. And the cook was watching me eat it so I had to pretend I love it 😂 I'm going to give natto a second shot because of you, maybe it will taste better second time!
whenever im really hungry after a long day i always get a similar meal from a local restaurant and have them crisp the skin like you said! minus the nato of course. always makes the next day better!! i love to cook all kinds of food, but sometimes dont have the energy in the evening. One of my favorite meals!!
7:20 that's because the salmon that Japanese fishermen catch is smaller warm water salmon from around their islands, salmon grow bigger in colder waters. They also have a species of salmon thats just a little smaller than the Coho and Chinook we have. Alot of the salmon on our side of the pacific is from either Alaska or Washington, both of which spend alot of time in the north paciifc near the Bering Strait where they grow very large on the rich foods in the arctic waters. it really drives me crazy how expensive salmon is getting where i live. I live near alot of fishing ports and seafood used to be really cheap here, but in the last 5-10 years the "omega 3 craze" has lead to higher demand as more people import it from here, more people come here to fish themselves, and pollution/over fishing has lead to a drop in supply as well. Salmon has got crazy expensive, i think the price has doubled in less than 10 years. I could catch the fish myself which would be cheaper but more work and requires a larger initial investment (costs to rent a boat, fuel, and fishing license). Between the natto (something I'd have to special order since the nearest store I know of that sells it is 60 miles from here) and the salmon this breakfast would cost me roughly $15 per meal :'(
I loved watching this. It is so interesting to see different cultures practices especially when it comes to food. This breakfast looks delicious! Way better than a “traditional” American breakfast. Don’t get me wrong I love bacon, eggs, biscuits and gravy. But fish, rice, soup, and fermented foods are way better for you lol
Future Neighbor: Lol, the difference is, in Japanese miso soup, you wouldn't use firm tofu. I would think that slicing the silken tofu in your hand would be much less scary since there's no pressure build up. Still, whenever I see someone cutting tofu in the palm of their hand, it makes me cringe with fear. :D
I have tried to cut silken tofu on my cutting board but it breaks a lot. Can hardly get it out of the package without it breaking. Cutting on my palm is way easier! As long as you don't pull or drag your knife it's fine.
@@erandinn8780 It won't taste bad, it's just the wrong texture. (for me) Firm tofu is more for use in stir frying or stews where you don't want the cubes to break up from a little jostling.
Even if I'm making Japanese miso soup, my favorite gukmul/dashi (good for vegetarians and vegans) is the pyogo(shiitake) and dashima combo gukmul/dashi.
I tried nato for the first time a few years ago, the funk flavor kind of got to me but Id be willing to try it some more with different recipes, i think mixing it in rice might help me.
I grew up eating natto because of my dad. I introduced natto to my girls at young age and I can say my oldest daughter loves natto. My younger daughter tries to like natto but just not there yet. Enjoy! Btw I am Japanese American. Love from Florida
I lived in Osaka with my Japanese ex husband, we had takuan (danmuji/pickled radish) in the morning instead of natto. I've never tried natto, but I heard its a required taste. Takuan really suits the flavor of broiled fish (my favorite was Hokke, a type of mackerel), rice (especially brown rice) and brown (awase) miso soup. The pickled radish is very easy to eat, not sour like American pickles; they're sweet and crunchy. I recommend takuan (pickled radish) for those who don't like natto taste and texture.
Dan-yul, you gotta mix all of that natto into the rice! When it's seasoned just right with the sauce packet or soy sauce and mustard...and then with a gooey egg? It's the bomb dot com 🤤👌
I tried Natto beans and I love them, I go to the Asian store here in south Texas and buy some Japanese foods, miso soup too..I always look around for new foods to try that’s healthy..😁
Don’t know why the algorithm recommended this vid.... but I loved it. Thanks for the food demo, I’ll be using my phone to measure portions going forward
At some point in the past umeboshi arrived to Mexico, we make a sauce from it and call it "chamoy" kids love it, on fruit, and a lot of candies. But we also put it on chips, and even beer to make a "chamoy michelada".
I still remember when I first tired it... my friend tricked me and told me that the soybeans were covered in a mucus from a famous sea animal. I said 🤯 But now... I dig it heh!
@@FutureNeighbor the first time I tried it I poured all the mustard on it... needless to say it wasn't a great idea! Now I use much less and I love it 😎
That looks amazing! I wish I could make this but I'd have to drive like 30 minutes to find half these ingredients, and I'm not a good enough chef to cut American styled salmon like that :(
an easy cleanup for fish in a pan is to use parchment paper :3 also, i have tried natto. it was like snot mixed with crunchy boogers, i was so overwhelmed by the texture (i almost threw up) that i dont remember what it tasted like ; - ;
I'm really impressed. Here in Brazil we normally have black coffe and white bread with butter for breakfast, it's like our thing. But this video made me want to try different foods, thank you!
Good for you! This is one of the traditional breakfast. Nowadays people have breads and coffee, or leftovers of yesterday's dinner for breakfast in Japan.

Working onwant to try surströmming again. Fermented herringang. If you do try that just try itas you should eat it and not straight from the can. Never enjoyed it but it's food from whereI come from so want to learn to eat it
I tried natto once, out of curiosity. It was pretty good, I liked it a lot and I'm planning to buy more. But I guess why people don't like it cuz of the texture...
7:02 *omg* Is your pan called "PeterPan"?! *fingers crossed* Because that would be amazing. As for natto, I think it has a strong taste of caramelised beer ... which I like ... so yes. It was good.

this takes like perhaps half an hour to make. You can mix the cucumber beforehand (I usually make enough for the week, it keeps well in the fridge). The rice cooks itself and you fry the fish while the soup boils. It's also possible to cook bigger portions of the miso soup base and then add the seaweed and tofu when you reheat it (takes about 5 minutes). It looks like it take a lot of time because he's showing every detail of the process. When you've made this enough times, you just eyeball everything.
I had natto when I was in college and it was sooooo goood. Like cheesey taste kinda. Including when you add green onion. Like a sour cream and onion taste
I wanted to like natto because if the k2 and bone health benefits. I tried it 2 times before it grew on me. Now I eat it multiple times a week! It’s so good.
During my japan trip, I had natto for the first time and was actually looking forward to trying it. Tbh it’s not that bad, more ppl should try it just to say they’ve had it before.
I adore the flavor, but its viscosity is impossible to bear. My solution was to try natto miso soup! Turns out it dissolves completely and gives the soup a whole new incredible flavor, with wilted spinach, tofu and konjac/shirataki noodles, it's heaven 😋🍜
@@melissaCgreenwood That is it!! I used to do that, too, and loved it. My cousin made me Neba-neba (ネバネバ sticky) salad once. She put all sticky things she could think of - okura, Konbu (seaweed), Yamaimo (taro), Natto, etc. With a dash of soy sauce and the Dashi powder, it was heavenly.
appletater that’s a breakfast entree in japan. my boyfriend is from okinawa, and he makes me something similar for breakfast. but like half of that serving of salmon/ or mackerel, braised veggies, sweet potatoes, and miso soup with daikon.
Maybe it’s an American thing? I’m from Panama and our traditional breakfast is also mostly savory stuff, like stewed beef and chorizo. I’ve heard the British also have heavy and savory fried breakfasts
Looks delicious!! Mmm soup, fish and rice would be enough for me. I’m curious about the cucumber salad. I’d give the natto a try. Top it off with a nice pot of tea.
When I make miso soup I use your recipe. I change some of the ending ingredients when I make it but I always start the recipe like you! I never let my daishi miso paste get cramps! Lol 😆 🤣
Fermented food is one of those things you hate at first then can’t live without.
Yes, especially as you get older ;)

Fun fact about nato: it’s the only food that gives you a sufficient amount of vitamin K2 at 939 mcg per serving. That’s a weeks requirement of K2.

Working onwant to try surströmming again. Fermented herringang. If you do try that just try itas you should eat it and not straight from the can. Never enjoyed it but it's food from whereI come from so want to learn to eat it
I tried natto once, out of curiosity. It was pretty good, I liked it a lot and I'm planning to buy more. But I guess why people don't like it cuz of the texture...
Rei T. Aiiandjskdjjakd omg nice profile pic
OreoTheMew PassingBy666 Thanks! 😊
I actually like sticky food so... I might like it.
i loved it and my friend hated it!
I am part Chinese but I love kimchi & natto. I make my own natto. It's easy. I also make my own kimchi. Love watching you & KT & I love Korean food.
7:02 *omg* Is your pan called "PeterPan"?! *fingers crossed* Because that would be amazing.
As for natto, I think it has a strong taste of caramelised beer ... which I like ... so yes. It was good.
This is in my suggestion feed and I haven't watched your other videos (yet) but your voice and lighthearted humor really give you a Bob Ross For East Asian Cuisine feel :) so nice
When should I get up to prepare all of this? :D
And where do I even get that seaweed and so on in my little german village man, damn
Edeka has the seaweed flakes in BW; Kaufland has everything, tho. Last option is amazon 😁
Edeka had the seaweed in BW; Kaufland has many more options. Last option is amazon.de 😁
@@Inanna08 Edeka depends on the actual person who owns that specific edeka, most of them have slightly adjusted items, depending on the peoples need in that village or town.. But Ill have a look thx. Next Kaufland is like 40km for me and amazon pretty expensive aswell
this takes like perhaps half an hour to make. You can mix the cucumber beforehand (I usually make enough for the week, it keeps well in the fridge). The rice cooks itself and you fry the fish while the soup boils. It's also possible to cook bigger portions of the miso soup base and then add the seaweed and tofu when you reheat it (takes about 5 minutes). It looks like it take a lot of time because he's showing every detail of the process. When you've made this enough times, you just eyeball everything.
Depending where you live, you can order it online or find an asian food market.
I had natto when I was in college and it was sooooo goood. Like cheesey taste kinda. Including when you add green onion. Like a sour cream and onion taste
the rice bowl looks like the Japanese flag
I wanted to like natto because if the k2 and bone health benefits. I tried it 2 times before it grew on me. Now I eat it multiple times a week! It’s so good.
This kind of foods.. man, I will be more healthier than I am now
Thanks for the accessible recipes!
During my japan trip, I had natto for the first time and was actually looking forward to trying it. Tbh it’s not that bad, more ppl should try it just to say they’ve had it before.
The first time i tried sushi i didn't like it at all. Then, a few weeks later, i caught myself craving them. 🤷♀️
Have you tried uni? More on the extreme side of sushi... but its one of those dishes that once you get used to, can't get enough ;)
idk if this has already been said for natto, but i love addin sesame oil/scallions/rice seasoning. SO GOOOOOD
Natto is the best especially when it is prepared right. I does take some getting use to but then I'm not a fan of okra with its slime... go figure :)
I think I will incorporate natto into my regular rountine now! With some green onion and seaweed flakes, perfect!!
I like okra best in the Indian preparation -- bhindi masala, the place I go to does it in a sort of dry fry and it's fairly spicy. Delicious.
I adore the flavor, but its viscosity is impossible to bear. My solution was to try natto miso soup! Turns out it dissolves completely and gives the soup a whole new incredible flavor, with wilted spinach, tofu and konjac/shirataki noodles, it's heaven 😋🍜
@@melissaCgreenwood That is it!! I used to do that, too, and loved it.
My cousin made me Neba-neba (ネバネバ sticky) salad once. She put all sticky things she could think of - okura, Konbu (seaweed), Yamaimo (taro), Natto, etc. With a dash of soy sauce and the Dashi powder, it was heavenly.
Yellow corn meal, salt and pepper for fish is wonderful.
The salmon looks good but I can't imagine waking up and eating dinnner.
appletater that’s a breakfast entree in japan. my boyfriend is from okinawa, and he makes me something similar for breakfast. but like half of that serving of salmon/ or mackerel, braised veggies, sweet potatoes, and miso soup with daikon.
Maybe it’s an American thing? I’m from Panama and our traditional breakfast is also mostly savory stuff, like stewed beef and chorizo. I’ve heard the British also have heavy and savory fried breakfasts
Idk why the US does a dessert-like breakfast. Blame the sugar industries I guess 🤷
Americans eat sugar and bad carbs for breakfast that’s why their all fat.
@@cuffa40yt85 Mexico is the fattest country in the world still. Too many beans and rice.
So glad I'm not the only one who loves miso soup, rice, tofu and salmon 😩
"I always see them cutting the tofu in their hands, lets see why... Nope, I am getting anxiety"
Τhe ingredients are out of this world
I find that natto mixed up looks like baked beans and cheese 😂
Looks delicious!! Mmm soup, fish and rice would be enough for me. I’m curious about the cucumber salad. I’d give the natto a try. Top it off with a nice pot of tea.

Future Neighbor: It looks like a fish!
Me: Ah yes. The fish here is made out of fish.
When I make miso soup I use your recipe. I change some of the ending ingredients when I make it but I always start the recipe like you! I never let my daishi miso paste get cramps! Lol 😆 🤣
I heard that phone surface a lot of bacteria...
more than toilet
That's why I wipe mine down with hand sanitizer every now and then, just in case.
cheng But the bacteria on a toilet is far more harmful
You know, you're supposed to have this crazy thing called an "immune system"...
It's getting boiled, so that doesn't matter.
I looove natto! ❤️ thank you for your recipes! Always good 👍
I hope he cleaned his phone with some cleaning wipe or something lol
