I was lucky to get natto at all, so black bean natto is probably out of the question for me. I eat steel cut oats, cooked in my rice cooker. Also, I like my oats a lot less watery than that. So with all of that, I think I'll skip this.
However, I think I might try making a bean dip from natto, and try tortilla chips with it. Natto has a very strong flavor, and it isn't good (to me, YMMV) unless it's blended with something else and diluted somewhat.
Oh no, that's horrible! I was just sitting having some natto gohan because I didn't feel like making oatmeal and I got the urge to Google "natto vs oatmeal".
Never did I imagine I'd come across someone who mixed the two?!?!
I eat one or the other (and often both) every day and the thought never crossed my mind.
I'm sure you'll live to be 120 yo eating that combination!
Natto is fermented beans correct? For some reason whenever I hear about I think sauerkraut. For some reason I think of a think vinegar smell. Is there something in western food you could compare it to?
Natto does not have the tang of saurkraut. Some say it smells like a pungent cheese, and has a flavor that is nutty, savory, and slightly salty. Actually, it's pretty hard to compare to another type of food.
for me natto is natto. so no matter what color and what its mixed with i don't think i will ever be able to enjoy it. but i enjoyed watching you cook. and hearing your wife's happy voice.
@Danoftouni - I think that Tokyo cooney or Victor done a video giving an idea why so much Japanese food is packaged up. From memory I think it has something to do with how they store their produce before being sold.
Hahaha oh wow that is so not cool

Good video! That should be a really healthy meal rich in protein and fiber from the beans, oatmeal, and soy.

As always an informative and creative video posting. This looks like the safest bet yet for eating this stuff.

Is Japanese food usually in so much packaging?

@Danoftouni
Actually, they do. But in the case of natto, I really don't see how else they could package it.
