Ingredients

⅓ pound dried spaghetti
2 tablespoons butter
2 packages natto about 50 grams each. (Plus the seasoning packets that come with the natto)
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons Maggi seasoning sauce (or soy sauce)
2 whole green onions finely chopped
2 tablespoons shredded nori

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti (follow the cooking time instructions on the box).
While the spaghetti is boiling, prepare the other ingredients:
Open the package of natto. Remove the seasoning packets (there are usually two - one is soy sauce-based and another is hot mustard).
Slide the plastic layer/cover off the natto and discard. Open the seasoning packet(s) and add it to the natto.
Use chopsticks to mix/whip the natto with the seasonings. Mix it really well until the natto looks almost frothy. Aim for 100 mixes!
In a large bowl, add the butter, black pepper, Maggi seasoning sauce (or soy sauce), half of the chopped green onions, and the mixed natto.
Once the spaghetti is done cooking, use tongs to move the spaghetti from the pot into the bowl with all the other ingredients. Add a splash of pasta water.
Use the tongs to gently toss and mix everything together until the spaghetti is evenly coated. You can also use chopsticks to mix.
Top with the other half of the chopped green onions and the shredded nori. Eat hot and enjoy! P.S. You can add a ton more nori if you like...I always add a lot ^_^
