  4. 2 skinny Green Onions
  5. 1 to 2 packages Natto

Cooking Instructions

  2. 2

    Thinly slice okra. Chop green onions. Peel and grate daikon.

    Mix Natto in a small bowl by itself until it's gooey. This process makes its nutrients active.

    Put grated daikon and sliced okra on noodles, put natto, green onions and nori on top. Pour soba sauce (you can buy one at a Japanese market) and serve with Shichimi or Yuzu-kosho pepper. Mix well before eating.
