Homemade Natto Using a Yogurt Maker - Japanese Food Anywhere You Go

I want to be able to eat Japanese food whether I'm living in Japan or not.
Even if Japanese food is available, it is too expensive, and since the only solution is to make my own, I experimented with several methods and came up with this one.

You can also boil the beans, but it's better when steamed.
I steam mine in a stainless steel colander inserted inside a pressure cooker.

For a tasty result, the soy beans should be soft enough to crush with your fingers. Recipe by MatM

  2. 2

    Steam the reconstituted soy beans in a pressure cooker for 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Set the yogurt maker to 105F/40C for 24 hours.

  6. 6

    When a whitish film forms on the surface and the soy beans are stringy when pulled apart, it's done.

  7. 7

    This is how it looks before storing in the refrigerator. Store in a container with a drainboard, if available, and let sit in refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.

Hi, I tried making this following your recipe but my natto was not sticky enough. Do you have any idea what went wrong? I used Mitoku natto powder ... I wonder if I should have used a natto package as a starter. I'm also wondering if the yogurt maker I used did not have the right temperature .. unlike yours mine (T-Fal YG232) does not let me control temperatures ... but it still should have been around 40c given the tolerence temp range for yogurt bacteria ... I appreciate if you'd share your thoughts ..
