RE: Fermenting foods, why it’s amazing for your health and how to get started

in #food7 years ago

Have you ever heard of Natto? Fermented soybeans....takes a while to get used to but once you do, you’d probably like it. They sell it at Japanese shops in Amstelveen as well as Rotterdam. You could probably order some online as well.

Well actually, I looked into recipes for making your own soy sauce. And discovered there's tooo much involved to DIY the whole process. And that a better option would be is to buy fermented soy beans and use those! Lol. So I guess I got close to finding out about them, didn't buy them yet though. Your comment might just be what it takes to actually find and use them. The Japanese kitchen is so amazing and tasty, I'm sure you don't miss Dutch food in Japan ;). Any tips on how to use the Natto for making a nice dinner?

Yeah, the Japanese kitchen really is amazing! The easiest would be Natto fried rice! Here is a good recipe: http://ilovenatto.com/blog/2010/11/natto-fried-rice/ You could also just put the Natto on a pizza, cheese and Natto go quite well together. Or cut it into small pieces and make miso soup with it. Miso is also made with fermented soy beans and very healthy! Also, maybe starting with making your own miso, would be an easier starting point than jumping into soy sauce. If you end up getting Natto, do let me know what you think of it...
