Do you know what natto is?
Natto is originally from Japan. It is a traditional food that is made of fermented soybeans and is rich in vegetable protein.
Soy beans are steam cooked and then fermented with a healthy bacteria known as Bacillus subtilis. The fermentation process yields a food that is high in nutrition and protein.
Also, natto may look strange and have a peculiar smell, but it is extremely good for you and it is known for its stickiness. It is the polyglutamic acid produced when the soybeans ferment that makes natto so sticky. Polyglutamic acid also helps the body absorb calcium and it is the richest food source of vitamin K2.
I bought natto at the Korean mart (It is easy to find in the frozen food section) and it came with seasoning sauce (sweet soy sauce + mustard sauce).
First, spread baby arugula on the plate, then the tofu, top with the natto and drizzle with the natto seasoning. You may also drizzle with sesame oil if you like. That's it!
It's a simple and easy appetizer!
