What can I make with leftover ingredients in the fridge? A bunch of veggies, lean chicken, a lot of natto packets....I finally decided to stir fry them all together. My mother was surprised about the idea but being a natto lover, I couldn't resist. This dish is great with rice! If you're not a natto lover, you may want to skip this recipe :P 

What's the big deal about natto (fermented soy beans) anyway? 

- Isoflavones contribute to hormone balance (especially for women) and protection against specific cancers.
- Protein contributes to bone strength and protection again menopause
- Saponin contributes as a disinfectant, beautiful skin, high blood pressure and smoothing the blood.
- Zinc contributes to balancing the digestive system.
- Calcium contribute to bone strength
- Magnesium contributes to beautiful skin and disinfecting the body
- Fiber contributes to beautiful skin, diabetes, fat and lowering cholesterol

Ingredients:
  • Meat (I used 200g, 1/2 lb of lean chicken)
  • Vegetables (I used chives and green pepper)
  • 2 packets of natto (or more if you like!)
  • 1 tbsp Japanese soy sauce
  • A dash of sesame oil

Recipe:

  1. Stir fry the meat (I used chicken) in a pan.
  2. Toss in the natto (mixed with soy sauce prior) and vegetables, heat some more.
  3. Season with salt, pepper and 1 tbsp of soy sauce.
  4. Before serving, add a dash of sesame oil around the edge of the pan and mix for a few seconds.
  5. Enjoy!

Improvements considered:

  • Adding kimchi would be tasty! 
  • Sprinkling sesame seeds.
  • Toss in a scrambled egg.
