Make natto without a natto machine

Overview

My sister-in-law went to Japan and asked her what she ate well in Japan. She said she ate a lot, but natto is a good thing. Japanese people are good at protecting their cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and they all rely on this thing. I have eaten this thing before, but I really don’t know much about it. I searched it on Baidu and found out that natto originated in China (that is, the soybeans that ordinary people usually make). Natto is similar to Chinese fermented beans and strange-flavored beans. After natto was introduced to Japan, natto was developed according to Japanese customs. Its function is to dissolve blood clots, regulate blood lipids, regulate blood sugar, regulate the gastrointestinal tract, and slow weight loss.... (Go to Baidu for details) In short, there are many benefits. With it, you don't need to go to the hospital to get a bottle to flush the blood vessels. After it's done, there will be a lot of silk when stirred, and that silk is the treasure that cleans the blood clots in the blood vessels.

  5. Put it into a pressure cooker and steam for 5-10 minutes. It doesn't matter if you don't have a water rack. I have done this before. Take a bowl, place it in the pot, add water, and put the plate on the bottom of the bowl.

  6. Dear, make sure to use a bowl to hold it when you put it out. This will be convenient when you put it out and the beans and bean soup will not be spilled

  10. Add 50ML of water and start steaming the beans. I steamed them for 5 minutes today. After the beans were put into the pot, I started to prepare the natto bacteria liquid

  11. For comparison, I cut a small opening and picked out a little bit with a toothpick

  12. Add a little water, about 2-3G, and melt it (obviously my water is enough for 5G, my hands are shaking...)

  13. Steamed beans

  14. Pour it into a stainless steel basin and gently stir it a few times to let the temperature drop. When you can start grabbing the beans, you can pour in the bacterial liquid

  15. My beans are steamed to this standard, so I flatten them

  16. Pour the beans mixed with the bacterial liquid into the crisper. Many people dislike this somewhat turbid liquid and throw it away. Dear, that is the secret to the fermentation of beans. . . Without it, the bacterial liquid will be useless, so don’t pour it!

  17. Pour it into the lunch box, not too high, preferably no more than 3CM. I divided it into 2 boxes and made a little each time, once every 2 days, because I don’t use a natto machine now, just use a heater

  18. Natto bacteria are aerobic bacteria, so be sure to use a breathable plastic wrap. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have one. Pricking small holes in the plastic wrap will make it breathable. Just put it on the heater for about 12-16 hours. You may feel that the heater does not have the required temperature for natto as written in the instructions. That is because of the problem between the surface temperature of the heater and the indoor temperature you feel. Generally, the heater is OK. If you feel that the temperature is not enough, you can appropriately extend the fermentation time

  19. After it is done, there will be a layer of fur-like material on the surface

  20. Just stir it up and you can pick up the strands. When eating, you can add salt or wasabi, crushed seaweed and other things to eat it. I divided it into 2 portions today, one with salt and one with very fresh flavor. Both are good. It's better after freezing.

  21. This is the natto my sister-in-law bought from the supermarket. After mixing it, it is similar to what I make. The natto bought in the supermarket is expensive and very small. It is made from small soybeans and has been frozen, so it has a small taste.
