New Ingredients

My husband came home from the library with a book for me the other day entitled, The Homemade Vegan Pantry, by Miyoko Schinner. I was intrigued by the titled and devoured the contents.  The author makes pantry staples with a twist of some Japanese ingredients.  So, off I headed to the Asian market to make a few purchases.  My intent is to find new ingredients to accent my recipes.  We are no longer bound by the seasons or native plants of our particular location.  I can buy spices, herbs, vegetables, and fruits from all over the world in my city or online!
   After making a list of recipes I wanted to try, I picked up the following items:

white pepper
ground star anise
agar powder
tamarind concentrate
3 types of rice sticks
wasabi powder
annato seeds
black slab sugar
panko
dried kelp
dried mushrooms
dried seaweed wakame
soba noodles
