Roll the Die to choose your ingredient.

If you have a die from a board game, use it.  If you’ve viewing this on a cell phone or tablet, you could  install a dice roller app (e.g. “Dice” by Benoit Layer for Apple devices or “Dice” by Ostop Development for Android devices).  Or open the link “Roll the Die” above and use a web-based die.  Once you’ve rolled the die and have the result, click the appropriate radio button that will be your ingredient choice.  Do this for all the ingredients.
