Natto is a very interesting food for vegans and vegetarians (I’m not but I care!) as it contains abundant healthy and vital ingredients.
Check the Natto/Fermented beans recipe if you want to make some yourself!
Here is a recipe to accomodate it into a tasty snack or appetizer!
INGREDIENTS:
Natto: the equivalent of 3 small packs
Oil: of your choice. 2 tablespoons
Salt: Choose good sea salt
Optional: chili pepper. sesame oil, soy sauce, miso, curry powder mix, grated ginger and so on
Good quality natto sold in shops should be vegan, but if you are not sure make the equivalent of three small packs. Very economical!
Pour the oil in a saucepan. Add the natto. Cook on a low fire. Sti with chopsticks all the time.
It will take time for the natto to cook and absorb all the oil. Do not hurry. Just keep stirring gently with the chopsticks!
When the natto has absorbed all the oil and taken the aspect of peanuts the beans should separate from each other. You can switch off ht e fire then!
let the natto cool for best taste as its water will disappear.
Sprinkle with some good quality salt.
Since you have 3 packs you could always present into 3 different small plates seasoned differently with above optional spices!
Enjoy!
