Tower of Fantasy‘s post-apocalyptic world may seem bleak, but it hides a vibrant culinary tradition. Uncovering recipes like the humble Small Sesame Rice Dumplings connects you to the in-game culture. This guide will help you master the dumplings, from finding ingredients to cooking techniques.
An Introduction to Cooking in Tower of Fantasy
Before we dive into the recipe, let‘s cover some cooking basics. The portable cooker in your inventory allows you to combine ingredients to discover dishes. You don‘t know recipes ahead of time – it‘s an experimental process.
Once you craft a food, it gets permanently added to your recipe book. You can then remake dishes easily. The official Wiki lists all recipes, but the joy comes from uncovering them yourself.
Cooking serves several key purposes:
- Restores your satiety (hunger) so you can keep exploring
- Provides powerful buffs that boost stats and combat performance
- Unlocks background lore and immerses you in the world‘s culture
- Provides additional goals beyond combat and exploration
It‘s worth spending time gathering ingredients and discovering recipes. Now let‘s learn how to make the Small Sesame Rice Dumplings.
The Origins and Significance of Small Sesame Rice Dumplings
According to Tower of Fantasy lore, these dumplings originate from Banges, the technology hub. They reflect an old tradition adored by both young and old.
The recipe only unlocks after you defeat two early bosses – Robarg and Sobek. This suggests the dumplings hold a deeper meaning related to overcoming adversity.
Their sesame filling represents prosperity and good fortune. For a city rebuilding after disaster, this classic dish symbolizes hope. When you cook the dumplings, you‘re connecting to the spirit of Banges itself.
How to Obtain the Ingredients
The Small Sesame Rice Dumplings require three ingredients:
Sesame
This seed comes from gathering Brown Rice nodes. These nodes spawn frequently around Raincaller Island, especially in the southeast. Sesame has around a 5% drop chance from Brown Rice. Gathering enough Brown Rice will net you Sesame.
Brown Rice
As mentioned above, Brown Rice nodes proliferate Raincaller Island. You can easily stock up on rice by wandering the island, harvesting nodes as you encounter them.
According to player data, Brown Rice nodes have a 40% spawn rate during open world exploration. Use the minimap to locate clusters of nodes.
Mushroom
For this last ingredient, look near the Football Field, Forgotten Land, and Fiendish Swamp. Mushroom nodes harbor around a 60% chance to yield Mushrooms when harvested.
I recommend collecting extras of each ingredient since you may need multiple cooking attempts to discover the recipe. Expect to spend 30-60 minutes gathering everything.
Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
Once you have the ingredients, it‘s time to start cooking!
Add 1 Sesame, 1 Brown Rice, and 1 Mushroom to your portable cooker. The cooker will display a success percentage. Don‘t start cooking yet!
Keep adding more of one ingredient until the success rate hits 100%. You need 15 total ingredients.
Select "Cook" and after a brief countdown, you‘ll receive 1 Small Sesame Rice Dumpling in your inventory.
If you got a different recipe, restart the process with the same three ingredients. You may need a few tries to unlock the dumplings.
