A unique twist on traditional natto, this sweet rice pudding incorporates the fermented soybeans for a surprising umami flavor, balanced with sweetness and creaminess.
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is mostly absorbed.
Once the rice is cooked, stir in the coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well and cook on low heat for an additional 5 minutes until everything is heated through and the mixture is creamy.
Remove the pot from heat and gently fold in the natto. Make sure the natto is evenly distributed throughout the pudding.
Let the mixture cool for a few minutes before serving. Spoon the rice pudding into bowls.
Top with sliced fruit and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.
Serve warm or chilled.
