Natto and Dried Bonito Japanese Style Omelette, also known as “Natto Kinshi Tamago,” is a popular breakfast dish in Japan. It combines the power of eggs and natto, which is fermented soybeans, to create a healthy and delicious meal. The addition of bonito flakes provides a smoky umami flavor that complements the earthiness of the soybeans. This dish is a great way to start your day with a healthy dose of protein and fiber, while also experiencing the flavors of Japanese cuisine.

Instructions

1.	In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper.
2.	Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the green onions. Fry them for a minute or two.
3.	Add the bonito flakes and fry them for a few seconds.
4.	Add the natto and soy sauce, and fry them for one to two minutes.
5.	Pour the eggs into the frying pan and stir everything together.
6.	Cook until the eggs are set but still slightly runny on top, then flip the omelette over and cook the other side for a minute or two until it is golden brown.
