How to use this list
Start with the dry goods: buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, and sesame seeds. Then buy the two small Italian eggplants, scallions, white miso paste, mirin, and oils. Make the eggplant filling while the flour dough rests, shape the dumplings, then cook them in neutral cooking oil in a skillet.
