How to: Natto | Breakfast Bowl 

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

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.

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 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.

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 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!

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... 😀

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!

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! ❤️

Happy New Year! Thanks for all tge recipes!

Thank you Daniel for showing me how good natto can be, tried all of these variations and turns out I love it!

i absolutely hated natto as a kid, but then i got a crazy craving for it one day. loved natto ever since!!

Great video! I am always trying to explain natto to friends, you got it all in to a single 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.

Yes, sir. I will give it another try. I've been avoiding natto ever since I heard "natto" from your channel.

Another great thing about natto - it's one of the very few foods with Vitamin K2, which has huge health benefits

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

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.

Thank for this video. Funny and informative! I’ve tried natto once and will give another try today. You two are funny!

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!!!

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...

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!

I've never tried it, but you've convinced me to give it a try👍🤞😁

"healthy gut in your bacteria" that got my mind loading HAHAHA love your vids!!

this is good stuff!!! great video!!!

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!

Very inspirational video, thanks! :)

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.

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

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. ♥️

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 always do the original version with a drop of sesame oil. It’s sooo delicious

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 👊

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!!!

Your recepies are easy and tasty, my husband is pretty satisfied about my level in cooking korean food

The second version I might try .

Thank you!🙏🤍

Nice creative approach! You did a good job 👍💚

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.

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!

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

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.

I need to increase my K2 intake according to my cardiologist. You have given me a couple of good recipes to try. Thanks.

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!

I tried natto for the first time with the avocado! Really like it! Thank you for the different ways to prepare it:)

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.

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.

So funny, i was looking up health benefits of natto.

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 :)

So yum looking😋! I love fermented foods... Could you make chungukjang jiggae? I adore that stew... It's even better than natto, I think... 💙💙

This is amazing !!! And i just discover thisss!!!!

👀I literally just bought 3 packages of natto? How did you know!!! Thank you for your eerily relevant videos lol 💖💖💖

I love the stuff. Glad to see the Korean adaptation.

I just found your channel and all I have to say is... I want those in my belly right now. It looks so good!

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!

Thank you so muchhhh

Wow I can do this. just got my nattomoto spores and soy. like these recipes.

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!

🤤 The avocado version had me googling nearest Asian grocery opening soon

Nice variation.

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.

so amazing recipes :)

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.

Hey do a what I eat in a day video with the most trad Korean recipes

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 😄

The avocado version looked delicious, I have to try that.😋

Fantastic video! Greetings from Malaysia!

I miss real Korean food.. I was stationed in TDC and found some very interesting little shops.. AWESOME food.

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. 😋

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 :)

Love natto. So trying the avocado version next time!

I tried it without green onion. No t a fan! I’ll get some over the weekend and try again 👩🏻‍🍳

I’m going to try the avocado and egg natto!

Also, you look good in beanies! You look great!

I didn't like it the first time. But then I found myself craving it. Now I eat it all the time.

Love this

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.

Avocado goes amazing with natto!

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.

The strand in the eye 😂😂👌🏽

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

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!

I was kind of scared to try it, it is visually not so appealing, but YUM, I love it!! It's great for people who want to build stronger bones. Great beneficial gut bacteria and minerals and vitamins and protein. It's quite a power-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!

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.

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 )

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

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!

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? 😋🙏🤤

Nepal has the best fermented soybean recipe hands down!

Natto omelette is amazing aswell !!!

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.

I've been wanting to try this for a long time, but I never had any guidance, and frankly I was a bit chicken. But now, I feel empowered to try it! I need to get good at it so that I can baby step my daughters into it. They are very brave, and they enjoy alot of Korean and Japanese things that aren't mainstream to american kids. Thank you!

Amazing recipes! The combination of Natto and Kimchi never fails. You probably cook better than certain Japanese housewives （me!）😂

I'll have a go but if I find the texture difficult, I'll try it in a fruit smoothi. I could really use the benefits of this for my osteoporosis bones. I enjoyed your video. You are very personable. I think you could sell freezers to Eskimos. Many thanks to you both. Anna UK

Love❤️love❤️love❤️you guys🙏🏼🇨🇦❤️🙏🏼❤️

Kimchi natto is my favorite. I make homemade kimchi but I just chop everything up so it’s ready to scoop out and add to everything (I think it’s called lazy kimchi?). I’m not here impressing anyone with beautifully stacked layers of kimchi so it’s good enough for me! I also like it with gaji namul. Basically any spicy-garlicky veg! Also, I didn’t think it was that smelly like most people complain about. Maybe I just like strong flavored foods.
