Bonito Flakes are one of the main ingredients in making Japanese stock or dashi, the basis of all Japanese food including miso soup. Contains 5x3gram packs for convenient use.
Try not to use the instant powdered bonito stock as it makes a big difference to the flavour of your dishes. Make a big batch and freeze as ice cubes, then you can thaw small amounts, even for individual miso soup.

Or just stir fry eggplant or capsicum with a dashi of soy sauce and
