Making Almond Tofu in Genshin Impact is both a delightful cooking adventure and a useful way to boost your characters’ healing abilities. Let me walk you through creating this refreshing Liyue specialty that’s become a favorite among travelers.
Basic Recipe Requirements
Before you start cooking, you’ll need to get your hands on the recipe. You can purchase it from Chef Mao at Wanmin Restaurant in Liyue Harbor for a modest 5,000 Mora. Once you have the recipe, you’ll need:
– 4 Milk
– 2 Sugar
– 2 Almond
Finding the Ingredients
Let’s break down where to find each ingredient, since I know this can be tricky when you’re first starting out:
Milk
The easiest way to get milk is by purchasing it from General Goods shops in either Mondstadt or Liyue. I usually buy mine from Blanche in Mondstadt since she’s right near the teleport waypoint.
Sugar
You can process this yourself at any cooking station using two Sweet Flowers, or purchase it directly from grocery stores in major cities. I find processing it myself saves some Mora in the long run.
Almond
Here’s a fun tip – almonds can be gathered from trees in Liyue, particularly around Qingce Village. They appear as little brown nuts on the ground.
Cooking Process
Once you’ve gathered everything, head to any cooking station and follow these steps:
1. Select the Almond Tofu recipe
2. Choose the character who’ll be cooking (using Xiangling gives you a chance for bonus dishes)
3. Click “Cook” and play the cooking mini-game
4. Perfect timing will result in “Delicious” Almond Tofu
Benefits and Usage
When consumed, Almond Tofu restores 26% of your selected character’s Max HP and regenerates 570 HP every 5 seconds for 30 seconds. The “Delicious” version bumps these numbers up to 28% and 620 HP respectively.
Here’s a pro tip I’ve learned from countless hours of gameplay: save your Almond Tofu for challenging domains or boss fights. The sustained healing over time makes it particularly valuable during longer encounters where you might not have a dedicated healer on your team.
Remember, like any dish in Genshin Impact, you can only consume one food item with regenerative effects at a time, so plan your healing strategy accordingly. I’ve found it works especially well with characters who need to stay on the field for extended periods, like main DPS carries.
