About the Recipe

If you like natto and want to try it out with other food combinations, here is a great recipe to get you started. You will need some instand "dashi" stock granules but you can buy these online. This dish is made in Japan typically using spaghetti rather than linguine but I prefer the latter as I think it soaks up a little more of the flavours from the dish - on the other hand, you can use spaghetti and the dish will still work out very well.

Ingredients

1/2 sheet of nori


2 spring onions


100g natto (sticky fermented soy beans)


2 tbsp soy sauce


160g linguine


a pinch of salt


20g salted butter


1 tsp japanese dashi stock granules


some cress for garnishing

Preparation

fold the sheet of nori in half 3 times, then use scissors to cut the little square into matchsticks


finely chop the spring onions


chop the natto roughly on a cutting board


put the natto in a bowl and stir well, then add the spring onion and soy sauce and mix everything together


cook the linguine in a pan according to the instruction on the packet


melt the butter in a frying pan and add the linguine & dashi granules and mix together


add the natto and mix again


your natto linguine is ready to serve, garnish with the nori & cress
