Natto, a traditional Japanese dish of fermented soybeans, is savory, rich, sticky, slimy, and to many people, quite delicious! It’s also high in protein and rich in heart, digestive and immune health benefits.

Depending on brand, your natto package will come with one or two packets. To prepare, open the natto and mix for 30 seconds. Add packets that are included with natto and mix for another 30 seconds.
STEP 2
Combine prepared natto, avocado, cucumber and soy sauce and mix to combine.
STEP 3
Place natto mixture over rice, and top with green onions. If using, add a raw egg and/or bonito flakes if desired. (Break the egg yolk and stir into the natto mixture before serving.)
