Since I'll be making natto sushi this week, I thought I'd pull some interesting reading I've found on Japanese fermented soybeans first. I know a lot of you have probably already tuned out after reading the subject heading, but I am convinced natto and shiso leaf maki rolls are the best way to eat the stuff if you're a beginner.

For those who absolutly love natto, add a fresh raw quail egg on top or puree the beans and add it to an omelette with scallions. The simplest way to eat it is straight out of the package on top of hot steamed rice. I like to add a little flaked nori and shaved bonito to give it that extra punch. I also enjoy it as a topping to agedashi tofu.
* Fermented soybeans are very high in protein for you vegetarians out there.
