Instructions

1. Dish 150 g cooked Japanese short grain rice up into a bowl.
2. Open 1 pack natto and whisk with chopsticks at least 50 times (preferably 150) until foamy and stringy.
3. Add the sauce included in the natto and mix until evenly distributed. (Usually mustard and soy sauce are included, swap for suitable alternatives if following a gluten free diet.)

Tips

This is probably the easiest and most common topping. But it’s important to note that we only use the green part of the spring onion for the topping in this case.
