Spinach and Natto Omelette

Natto is a Japanese delicacy made from fermenting soybeans and has a savory and unique flavor. Once you try natto, you will be hooked. It is like eating baked beans, but with a much stickier source. Cooked in eggs, its a great way to enjoy what I consider to be the best way to serve beans. You can always make this into scrambled eggs and get more colors in your dish.
