Step 3: Slice the avocado and salmon and place them on the rice. Add a little teriyaki sauce or soy sauce. Mix everything together before eating for a better flavor.
Natto Bibimbap
If you watched *Crayon Shin-chan* as a child, you must have a deep memory of the natto bibimbap he loved. The hot rice paired with the stringy natto looks incredibly delicious. In fact, natto bibimbap is just as simple as we see in comics; as long as you have the ingredients, you can mix up a delicious meal.
【Ingredients】
1 bowl of hot rice, 1 high-quality egg, 1 box of natto, appropriate amount of Japanese soy sauce, appropriate amount of Japanese mustard.
【Instructions】
Step 1: Thaw the natto. Natto is usually sold frozen, so be sure to thaw it naturally in advance to get that long, stringy texture.
Step 2: Prepare the freshly cooked rice; it must be steaming hot.
Step 3: Use chopsticks to make a hole in the center of the rice. The hole should be slightly smaller than the yolk, otherwise, the yolk will fall through, or it will be too small for the yolk to fit.
Step 4: First, stir the thawed natto in its container to loosen it, then spread it next to the egg. Squeeze a little Japanese mustard and drizzle some Japanese soy sauce on top. Mix the egg yolk, rice, and natto together, and it's ready to eat.
