Cold Soba Noodle with Natto

Thanks to my sister for showing me how to make Cold Soba Noodle with Natto.  It's simple, healthy, and it tastes good.



Here are the ingredients.  Soba noodle (a.k.a. buckwheat noodle), soba sauce, wasabi, natto (if you don't know what natto is, here is the Wikipedia page), dried seaweed, and chopped green onion.



Cold Soba Noodle with Natto

It's so simple to make.  Just cook the soba noodle, and rinse with cold water.  Add natto, some seaweed, chopped green onion, and wasabi, then mix.  You can add the soba sauce directly to the noodle like I did (for lazy people), or you can pour the soba sauce into another bowl for dipping.

I wasn't sure if Dr. P would like the taste of natto, but he ate the whole bowl and said it tasted great.  After eating the noodle, I felt full, but light.  It's quick and easy to prepare.  Thanks sis!

  2. natto taste funny x_x

    but soda is good

    haha I heard a lot of people don't like the taste of natto.
    I thought it tasted kinda funny at first, but when you mix with soba sauce and wasabi,
    it doesn't have much taste anymore. So I like it this way.

  3. ohhhhhhhhhh, that is Natto! I had it in Japan, always wondering how to eat the raw egg, rice and the sticky bean together. Ahahahha, now I know. I don't like it though. Thank you, Elieen

    You had the proper way to eat natto.
    Traditionally natto is eaten with rice, raw quail egg, green onion, seaweed, with some soy sauce and Japanese mustard over rice.
    I've never had natto that way. The natto I bought from Mitsuwa Market comes with soy sauce and yellow Japanese mustard pack.
    I think I'll try it next time to see if I like it.
