Natto Lunch Bowl with Sesame Dressing

June 24, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

This is more or less a DIY lunch bowl, simple and ideal for one person. It’s prepared with re-constituted natto and a delicious Japanese-style sauce. Choose any cooked grain or potato you like, along with favorite veggies, and your choice of protein. We’ve used curry-spiced tofu teriyaki (recipe below).

Natto Potato Salad with Tangy-Tamarind Dressing

June 5, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

This unique potato salad comes in response to customer requests for using our freeze-dried natto and tamarind paste in recipes. We thought it would be a great idea to subdue the texture and mellow the flavor of the natto into some favorite dishes while turning up the pizazz at the same time with tamarind paste. For those who are hesitant about the texture and flavor of natto, but want the gut-health benefits, this salad would be a great start! Remember to prepare the natto ahead of time as instructed on the package. Although we did not peel the potatoes, feel free to do so once cooked and cooled enough to handle. The peel should slip off easily.

Curry-Roasted Root Vegetables with Marinara and Ghee

June 3, 2025 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

This colorful, delicious recipe uses a variety of naturally sweet root vegetables seasoned with ghee, curry, cayenne and a favorite marinara sauce. The vegetables are roasted in a hot oven to golden perfection and topped off with a sprinkle of parsley for the final touch. Vegetables we used include onions, carrots, rutabaga, golden beets and daikon radish. Add spices and parsley to personal taste.
