Deliciously Diet-Friendly! A Healthy Sandwich Recipe with Natto and Whole Wheat Bread
Today, I’ll introduce you to a ‘Natto Whole Wheat Sandwich’ that’s light yet satisfying for a meal, and promotes good health too. Enjoy your diet meal deliciously by savoring the unique flavor of natto with whole wheat bread!
Main Ingredients- 1 pack Natto (with included seasoning)
- 1 slice Whole wheat bread
- 1 Egg
- A handful of fresh Lettuce
- 1-2 Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Lettuce leaf
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, open the pack of natto. To create the characteristic sticky texture of natto, use chopsticks to stir vigorously in various directions for about 30 seconds, until a rich, frothy foam develops. The intensity of stirring can affect the natto’s creaminess and flavor.
Step 2
Lightly toast the whole wheat bread in a toaster or on a dry pan. If the bread becomes too crispy, it can be difficult to eat and might crumble. Aim for a texture that’s slightly warm on the outside and soft on the inside.
Step 3
Spread the prepared natto evenly over one slice of the lightly toasted whole wheat bread. Spreading the natto evenly will help its flavor meld beautifully with the bread for a more enjoyable taste.
Step 4
We’ll be cooking the egg conveniently using the microwave. Carefully crack one egg into a small, deep bowl. To prevent the yolk from bursting, gently prick the yolk a few times with the tip of your chopsticks. This helps maintain the yolk’s shape. Microwave for about 40 seconds. (Adjust the time based on your microwave’s power.)
Step 5
The egg cooked in the microwave will have a texture similar to a poached egg. While its appearance might be a bit unusual, its cooked state is very similar to a poached egg, making it a wonderfully soft topping for your sandwich.
Step 6
Place the washed lettuce leaf nicely on top of the whole wheat bread spread with natto.
Step 7
Carefully place the microwave-cooked egg on top of the lettuce. Be gentle to avoid breaking the yolk.
Step 8
Finally, add a handful of fresh lettuce and arrange the halved cherry tomatoes on top. Your delicious natto sandwich is complete!
