Method

  1. 1 Blanch the okra for 90 seconds, then slice it thinly to allow the sticky sap to release.
  2. 2 Grate the yam into a white, viscous paste and mix it with soy sauce.
  3. 3 The three slimy ingredients—natto, okra, and yam—are the distinguishing features of this rice dish.
  4. 4 Beat the natto 50 times, then season with soy sauce and a little wasabi.
  5. 5 Arrange the hot rice in a bowl, then spoon individual portions of rice onto the rice, forming three corners.
  6. 6 Crack a quail egg into the center, then sprinkle with perilla leaves and shredded seaweed, and mix at the table.
