Overview
Chewy Rice Cakes (commonly called Rice Cakes) are a high-tier recovery item in Crimson Desert that provides both health and spirit restoration alongside a fire resistance buff. The in-game description reads: "Rice cakes made by pounding steamed grains to create a delightfully chewy texture. A popular snack with nutty aroma, intensified the longer they are chewed."
Rice Cakes are part of the Pot Cooking subcategory within the Cooking system. They require four different ingredients, including Lentils as the grain base. The multi-effect nature of Rice Cakes makes them a strong all-purpose food for mid-to-late game content.

Rice Cakes sit just below Marinated Meat in total restoration value (240 HP vs 280 HP, 22 Spirit vs 26 Spirit) but use plant-based ingredients instead of meat. This makes Rice Cakes a good option for players who have invested in farming and foraging rather than hunting.
How to Craft
The recipe for Chewy Rice Cakes can be purchased from merchants or found through exploration. Lentils are the key ingredient and can be grown at the Greymane Camp farm. Growing your own lentils is strongly recommended, since buying them from merchants gets expensive when you are cooking in bulk.
Tips
Rice Cakes are the best plant-based recovery food for players who focus on farming rather than hunting.
The sell value of 23 per unit makes surplus Rice Cakes a decent source of gold.
Lentils grow relatively quickly at the camp farm. Plant a large batch and harvest before setting out on long expeditions.
