Cool. I am native to northern parts of Telangana my grandmother generation use to make fermented soya bean chutneys. Like most of native dishes it also faded in time. I bet non of my generation gen-z know those foods. Cultural habits keep evolving soy is good source of protein hope it get reintroduce to us.

[@Shangnairan]

Thanks. Oh I didn't know that fermented soybeans is eaten in Telangana, nice to know

[@maibege761]

This is beautiful. From the other part of the world, West Africa particularly Nigeria this is called iru, daddawa, ogiri okpei (our local seasoning) but made from soya beans. Soya beans are used when locust beans from locust tree isn't readily available.

Thank you for sharing the Indian way of making Natto. Traditionally, that's how the Japanese made their Natto centuries ago. As with drying Natto, you can use a dehydrator to dry it better. Do you know you can inexpensively build your own incubator/dehydrator and use it to ferment Natto, Koji, Tempeh, Tapeh, Breads, etc.

[@Shangnairan]

My pleasure thanks for the info 😊

[@Habibie-vi4fv]

@@Shangnairan You looked like a Korean who speaks Indian English. Probably, you grew up and lived in India. Anyway, what I want to tell you is I re-watched your video today. I noticed more detail on how you prepared and made fermented soybeans Indian style. TBH, the way I made Japanese Natto is quite similar to yours and all, including soaking the soybeans, is done in a single cooking vessel, namely an 8 Qt Fagor Multi-Functions Pro Lux Pressure Cooker. I used the Slow and Low setting (75°C or 167°F sans boiling the water) on the pressure cooker to cook the 24-hours soaked soybeans for 3 hours with barely enough water to cover the soybeans. When it is done, I just sautéed the soybeans until about 3 spoons of cooking water left and then switch to Yogurt making setting for 48 hours to ferment the soybeans. The end result looks the same like your fermented soybeans. Occasionally, these fermented soybeans do emit slight ammonia odor and it will go away once I leave it in a container stowed in a refrigerator 2+ days. To consume my Natto, I simply mix Natto with soy sauce and eat it with rice. Cheers.

[@Shangnairan]

@@Habibie-vi4fv Hi I'm from northeast India. Yes quite similar but India style has very strong smell. Thanks for the info 😊

[@Habibie-vi4fv]

@@Shangnairan Thank you, thank you, and thank you. Indian people from N.E. looks more oriental as far as I can tell (AFAICT). The reason I said mine is similar to yours is mainly because both ours don't produce stringy strands like Natto when stirred. The odor strength on mine proportionally depends on the length of fermentation.

[@nemmyjohn7572]

Thanks so much. By the way can you also just sun it instead of using oven?

[@Shangnairan]

In this technique sun heat is not enough😊 I've uploaded a video recently in that you can ferment just in sun 👇 this the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5jZf2OFq8hjY6c

[@la381]

Hi, thank you for showing this.🙏😀 This is really interesting! May I ask you a question? Are you Indian? Your location is India, but your language does sound Indian. ***What language are you speaking here? You were combining English and another language. Sorry for the personal question.*** You don't look Indian. ***What is your ethnicity? 😊 Anyway, thank you soo much. I really love natto and Chung guk jang. Ill try this, too.😊

Yes I'm Indian from northeast sides of India. The other language I speak is Meitei language

[@charpoy71]

Have been searching for something like this for a while. I'm in Uttarakhand, so banana leaves are not available. Can you suggest an alternative? Tried making this once before, fermenting in a vessel wrapped in cloth.. It got spoilt. Thanks!

[@Shangnairan]

You can use basket, instead of banana leaf use a cotton cloth and keep under the sun for 2-3 days. Maybe it got spoiled because you used vessel try using bamboo basket or plastic basket which has got very small holes. Hope this will help 😊

[@bushwhacker9579]

Only 1 container left, I have been aging it for 6 months to amplify the taste, but tbh I don't even want to open it cuz once I open it, it will become history within 1 or 2 days. Goes great with spicy noodles

[@Shangnairan]

Korean style takes lots of time but this Indian style we ferment it maximum upto 10 days beyond that will be too smelly.

[@bushwhacker9579]

@@Shangnairan I know... No one at my home can take the smell other than me🤣, I opened it and it was beyond smelly, although I took some bite and ate it with some noodles, but i won't recommend anyone doing this. It's poison to the nose and soul🤣

[@bushwhacker9579]

I was too busy so i forgot to ask.... If you know the long way (korean, like you mentioned) please do share the recipe with a video, I mean the longer you wait the better the taste right...beans has been my usual diet, I eat it with almost everything, so if I can get a new taste with it I would be really happy😊 (has to be fermented tho😅)

Oh nice to know that 😊

[@Forestspirit5]

Hi, this is a great recipe. Would fermentation of soybean also work if I were to blend boiled soya bean and mix it with curd (lactobacillus bacteria) and leave it overnight? Basically follow a process similar to what we do for fermenting the dosa batter?

[@Shangnairan]

Thank you so much 😊 Soybeans has it's own good bacteria so you don't need to add anything

[@Forestspirit5]

@@Shangnairan oh okay thank you for the response, that really helps clarify things!

[@harryrakhraj]

Thanks for the simple, easy to follow method. The soybeans available here turn out bitter after ferment. I add a little baking soda, but bitter still. Please advise. Thanks

[@Shangnairan]

Thanks but I've never come across bitter soybeans that's new thing for me

[@src3360]

You could be fermenting them too long.

[@peterhait6774]

Use of fire wood/fuel while smoking soyabean might also turn the item taste bitter.

[@sunilhasda2962]

Is those are kidney beans or what,can you help me which legume family the current Soybean belongs to?

No this is soybeans. The beans used for making tofu, soymilk etc
