The Gun Family's Natto Spaghetti
- 1 as much (to taste) Pasta (I recommend thin pasta)
- 1 pack Natto (fermented soy beans)
- 2 Raw egg yolks
- 1 Shio-kombu
- 10 grams Butter
- 1 dash Shiro-dashi or usukuchi soy sauce
- Make all the ingredients ready.
- Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water.
- Cut the butter up into small pieces.
- Put the natto in a bowl, add the egg yolks and the sauce that came with the natto, and mix well.
- Add some shiro-dashi or light soy sauce if you have some.
- Take out some of the pasta cooking water - the same volume as the egg yolks - and add to the bowl.
- It's about 2 tablespoons plus.
- Mix well.
- I used a large ceramic soup spoon for this task (so you really don't have to worry about being super-precise).
- Be sure to mix well between each addition of cooking water, since if you don't, the eggs will start to curdle.
- Add a generous amount of shio-kombu.
- This will really decide the flavor of the dish.
- If you are adding chopped green onion, put it in at this stage.
- Cook the pasta for 1 minute less than specified on the packet and drain.
- Immediately put it in the bowl with the other ingredients!
- Add the butter, and toss well using tongs, so the butter melts.
- Mound on serving plates.
- Sprinkle on top with shredded nori seaweed if desired.
