Hi, everyone! I'm Masa! This time I'd like to share
a Japanese style and healthy fried rice!
It's (Japanese),
which is natto curry fried rice!
When it comes to natto, you might think of the funky smell,
but I personally love it, and often have it when I was in Japan.
Natto gohan is one of my favorites!
Seasoned natto and put them on top of a bowl of rice, super tasty! Also really great for breakfast!
I think you might know natto is nutritious,
but the smell is really special,
so I didn't see too many Taiwanese people eat this.
Especially, this kind of food isn't that popular in foreign countries!
I originally wanted to show you guys the power of natto,
but I hesitated because you might not like natto that much.
Finally, I have the chance to be sponsored by a company,
so I decided to make a natto dish!
In this video, I'll use this...
Takano's Hokkaido small granule natto!
In Japanese, I often call it okame natto,
you can see the logo here... that's the one!
For me, this is a familiar product,
when it comes to natto, the face will just show up in your mind!
So, this time, I'll use this super healthy ingredient to share
a super tasty natto dish!
If you are not a natto lover, this will change your mind!
It's really easy to make, so let's get started!
About 50g shimeiji mushroom
Tear into small chunks
1~2 sprigs of green onion
Chop the greens and the whites separately
(Whites for squtée, greens for colors)
1~2 cloves of garlic
Finely chopped
Now, I'll open this package of natto,
you can usually find them in the frozen section in a supermarket,
if they're stored in a freezer,
they'll keep on fermenting, and the smell will only turn stronger.
Keep them frozen can stop the fermentation,
and the natto will be stored at perfect condition!
The nutrition won't change that much, and the good yeast will all kept inside!
Put them in a freezer at the night before you need them, and let it defrost on its own.
Here's a way you can do to enjoy natto!
There are 3 boxes of natto in 1 package.
It has the sauce and mustard you need inside.
You don't need to prepare any other seasonings, add them straight in!
Tear off the lid will be much easier to make!
Remove the wrapper slowly
It's small granule,
so you can easily put it into all kinds of dishes,
such as fried rice, spaghetti, onigiris, even sushi rolls, they're really easy to prep!
So let's start stirring!
Use the original container will be much easier to clean!
Stir until it turns white
I like this white natto better, then I'll add the sauce,
this is the condition you want!
This brand, they have a kelp and katsuo bushi flavor sauce, really flavorful!
Mix with natto, awesome!
Yellow mustard (spices)
This can be a small gourmet already!
Simply have them ,or put them on top of some rice,
tofu, soba noodles, they're also delicious!
But this time, I'll add some additional seasonings for the depths of flavor!
1/2 tsp curry powder
Curry powder can lessen the smell from the natto, but you can still have the bean flavor!
1 tsp mayo
To add a smooth texture and lessen the stickiness.
Crack an egg
Seasoned natto in
Mix
Turn up to medium heat
Some oil in
Just let the egg mixture absorb the oil, so don't cook too long
Turn off the heat
Take out the natto egg
1/2 tsp butter
Turn up to medium heat
Garlic and the whites in
Don't add the greens yet
When it's aromatic,
mushroom in
Cook to golden
1 bowl of rice (about 170g)
Natto egg in
Spread the egg evenly
Press the rice with your spatula
Press out the grease from the egg
1 tbsp curry powder
1/2 tsp soy sauce
Some salt and pepper
Greens in
Some white sesame
Now, a super tasty
natto curry fried rice is done!
So happy that I can finally share some natto recipes with you!
No more waiting!
Start eating!
You can see the natto, they're not stick together,
they're "para para", which means
all the things are separated.
They're spread evenly!
Let's dig in!
I love this! Add curry powder to the natto,
it adds a depth of flavor!
I am a natto-lover, the twist like this is also great,
you can still enjoy the bean flavor!
The texture is also great!
We cook the egg and the natto first,
so it won't be too sticky!
As for the curry flavor,
the kids will also love this!
You can add any kinds of veggies you want,
cabbage, or blanched peas, they're also great to add!
So, we use a ingredient not that familiar to Taiwanese people,
some of you might not even like it, it's natural!
But after you give it a try, it'll change your thinking!
It's really nutritious and healthy, even some Japanese have natto everyday!
You don't need to eat them straightly, you can mix them with other ingredients, like I just showed,
you can also put them in miso soup, miso can lessen the smell and the stickiness!

please feel free to check out the Facebook fan page and their website! The details will all be there!
Hope you all can enjoy this healthy and shiawase dish!
