How to make natto:
dip soybeans into water overnight
boil soybeans till they become soft in a big pan
wrap soybeans in straw of rice before they cool down
leave them for two or three days.
Bacillus natto lives in straw of rice. When Bacillus natto resolves
protein of soybeans, soybeans become sticky, and bad-smelling gas
appears. The taste becomes unique, and a unique smell sticks.
This is the "natto" which we call fermented soybeans now.
Now Bacillus natto is sprinkled directly and soybeans are fermented in
a factory.
Natto are eaten with rice, and can be entered in vinegared rice and
rolled in seaweed. There is miso soup with nattto minced in an earthenware mortar. It is said that natto is digested easily than soybeans, and good for
our health.
