The method

Step by step

1
Prepare the short grain rice according to package directions, aiming for a warm, fluffy consistency.
About 15 min
Cook’s note: Cooking rice in advance can save time in the morning.
2
Open the natto package and remove the included sauce and karashi mustard packets.
3
Add the sauce packet and karashi mustard to the natto in its container.
4
Stir the natto vigorously with chopsticks or a fork for 30-60 seconds until it becomes very sticky and foamy.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: The more you stir, the stickier and more flavorful the natto becomes.
5
Drizzle in the soy sauce and stir once more to combine.
Cook’s note: Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your taste.
6
Spoon the warm cooked rice into a serving bowl.
7
Carefully transfer the prepared natto mixture on top of the rice.
8
Garnish with sliced scallion and shredded nori, if desired.
