Just place natto, cheese, and stir-fried cabbage on a piece of bread, and toast it! This natto cheese toast is easy and full of umami and flavor!

As you may already know, natto is a healthy food made from soybeans.

The standard way to eat natto is natto over rice, but it goes very well with bread.

In this toast recipe, the cabbage adds sweetness and the sticky natto and the thick cheese bring a nice flavor.

It will be ready in under 10 minutes and a great recipe for a busy morning.

Shred cabbage: Divide a cabbage into 4 pieces, remove the stem and shred it. (We only use one-fourth of cabbage)
Stir fry cabbage: Add some oil to a frying pan, stir fry the cabbage over medium heat, and season with salt and pepper when tender.
Mix natto: Open the natto pack, add the natto sauce and karashi (Japanese mustard) and mix.
Combine ingredients: Place the cabbage, natto, and cheese on the bread.
Toast: Toast in a toaster oven (I use a fish grill) until it turns brown (about 5-7 minutes).
