This natto pasta is incredibly easy to make with ingredients you likely already have in your fridge. Topped with a perfectly poached egg, it's incredibly satisfying. The aroma of olive oil and soy sauce is truly appetizing, a signature touch from Koutaro Kento's style of cooking.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Spaghettini 160g (approx. 5.6 oz)
  • Green Onions 2-3 stalks
  • Natto 2 packs
  • Dried Bonito Flakes Small pack (approx. 1g)
  • Eggs 2
  • Nori Seaweed Full sheet 1

Seasonings

  • Salt 1 tbsp
  • Olive Oil 4 tbsp or more
  • Soy Sauce 2 tbsp
  • [A] Natto package sauce
  • [A] Natto package mustard

Steps

  1. Boil 1.5L of water in a pot.
  2. Add 1 tbsp of salt to the boiling water.
  3. Cook 160g of Spaghettini according to package directions.
  4. Finely chop 2-3 stalks of green onions.
  5. Add the included sauce and mustard from 2 packs of natto, along with 1 small pack of bonito flakes, and mix well. (Key Tip!) Using all the included sauce and mustard enhances the umami.
  6. Once the pasta is cooked to your desired doneness, drain it in a colander. Reserve some of the pasta water.
  7. Transfer the drained pasta to a bowl and drizzle with 4 tbsp or more of olive oil, then toss to coat.
  8. Using some of the reserved pasta water, gently crack 1 egg into the water. Shape the white to create a poached egg.
  9. Similarly, poach another egg. Once done, carefully remove from water and drain any excess.
  10. Tear 1 full sheet of nori seaweed into pieces and scatter it over the pasta in the bowl.
  11. Place the mixed natto on top of the nori, creating a slight well in the center.
  12. Gently place the poached egg into the well.
  13. Generously sprinkle the finely chopped green onions over everything. (Key Tip!) Using plenty of green onions adds great flavor and is highly recommended.
  14. Finish by drizzling 2 tbsp of soy sauce over the dish. Optionally, add a little more olive oil. (Key Tip!) The combination of olive oil and soy sauce is fantastic.
  15. Serve with the natto's included mustard for a complete dish.
