Here is an interesting secret nato, is very simple to make if you have the right ingredient.
What you need is soy beans and rice straw, the nato bacteria(that is the name) is native to the rice straw.
You just place the soy bean in water for a night then boil till soften. You also need to boil the rice straw for 45 seconds to sterilize the straw beside the nato bacteria since nato bacteria is highly resistant to heat. Place the boiled soy beans into the rice straw and tie it up and leave it for two to three days for the soy beans to ferment and you got nato.
