Synning Dried fish?

[leighleigh]

Hi all. I love miso soup, but, I have a feeling if I use the prepackaged and dried stuff it'd be quite high in syn so I am going to make my own. For the dashi stock, the konbu (seaweed) is free but I was wondering about the dried bonito. All it is is dried fish flakes and they're discarded after soaking for a few minutes anyhow. Would I still have to syn them? Thanks very much

Mmmm, not sure. I guess if you are soaking them, then you are getting the oil and fat from them without the benefit from the flesh, so I would think you should syn it. I wouldn't think any of it counts as free food either as there's no bulk if you're not eating the solids.

Can't find it online.

Sorry, not very helpful am I!
