Introduction

Step 1
Sprinkle the okra with a little salt and roll it on a cutting board to prep (ita-zuri).
Step 2
Boil the okra in boiling water for 10 seconds, then immediately transfer to cold water.
Step 3
Finely shred the nori seaweed.
Step 4
Remove the okra from the cold water, chop to desired thickness, and place in a bowl.
Step 5
Add mustard (1.5 tsp) and soy sauce (2 tsp) to the bowl, and stir well with chopsticks until it becomes stringy. Plate it and top with shredded nori to complete the 'natto-style okra'.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Do not overcook the okra; boiling it quickly for about 10 seconds and cooling it in water keeps the color vibrant and the texture crunchy. 💡
Adding more mustard provides a sharp, spicy accent, but feel free to adjust to your personal preference. 🔥
The sardine fish balls provide plenty of umami, so the soba soup can be seasoned with just simple ingredients. 🍳
