Recipe Details

Ingredients

Where to Get the Recipe

The Forest Treasure Bowl recipe is purchased from the Aureleaf Kitchen in Starsand Town. The recipe scroll costs 490 coins. The kitchen is open from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM every day, so visit during business hours to browse the recipe catalog.

Once you buy the recipe scroll, open it from your inventory to permanently learn the dish. It will then appear in your cooking menu whenever you interact with a Gas Stove or Campfire. You only need to purchase the scroll once.

If you want to eat the dish without cooking it yourself, the Aureleaf Kitchen also sells a ready-made take-out version of Forest Treasure Bowl for 495 coins. However, buying take-out repeatedly is far more expensive than learning the recipe and cooking with your own farm ingredients.

Ingredient Sourcing

Forest Treasure Bowl uses three common ingredients that are all obtainable through farming and basic processing. Unlike seafood or meat-heavy recipes, none of the ingredients require fishing or animal husbandry, making this dish accessible early in the game.

Rice (x4)

Rice is a staple crop grown on your farm. Rice seeds can be purchased from the seed shop and planted in standard farmland. Each harvest yields multiple Rice, so dedicating a few plots to Rice ensures a steady supply. Rice is also used in several other popular recipes like Golden Fried Rice, Coconut Rice, and Yangzhou Fried Rice, so maintaining a large Rice crop benefits multiple cooking goals.

Leek (x1)

Leek is another crop grown on standard farmland. You only need 1 Leek per cook, so even a small patch of Leek plants provides enough for regular cooking. Leek seeds are available from the seed shop, and the crop grows relatively quickly compared to other vegetables.

Cooking Oil (x2)

Cooking Oil is a processed ingredient made from oil-bearing crops using the Separator. You need 2 Cooking Oil per batch. Since Cooking Oil is used in many stir-fry and fried recipes, keeping a reserve in your storage is always a good idea. Process extra crops into Cooking Oil whenever your Separator is idle to avoid running out.

Profitability

At a sell price of 374 coins, Forest Treasure Bowl offers a solid return for a dish made entirely from farm-grown ingredients. Since Rice, Leek, and Cooking Oil all come from crops you can grow on your own farm, the cost of ingredients is essentially your time and seed investment.

For players comparing Forest Treasure Bowl to other rice-based dishes:

Forest Treasure Bowl is competitive with other rice-based dishes in terms of sell price and stamina recovery. Its advantage is that all ingredients are entirely plant-based, meaning you do not need animal products (eggs) or purchased meat (fowl) to cook it. This makes it a reliable cooking option for players who have invested heavily in crop farming but have not yet built up their animal husbandry.

Selling to the Merchant Ship on Monday at 200% price brings the sell value to 748 coins per dish. Stockpiling Forest Treasure Bowls throughout the week and selling them in bulk on Monday is an efficient way to maximize cooking profit.

Gift Preferences

Forest Treasure Bowl can be given as a gift to pets and wild animals. The following creatures have Forest Treasure Bowl listed as a Liked gift:

Giving a Liked gift provides a moderate friendship boost with the animal. While it is not the most efficient gift for building relationships quickly (Loved gifts are better for that), Forest Treasure Bowl is easy to mass-produce from farm crops, making it a convenient option when you want to raise friendship with multiple animals without hunting for their preferred Loved items.

Related Recipes

If you enjoy cooking rice-based dishes or are looking for other recipes that use similar ingredients, consider these related options:

• Golden Fried Rice: Uses Egg and Rice. A popular early-game recipe with low ingredient requirements and good sell value.

• Yangzhou Fried Rice: A more complex fried rice recipe using Egg, Rice, Leek, and Fowl. Higher value but requires animal products.

• Coconut Rice: Uses Coconut and Rice for a tropical twist. Good for players with access to coconut trees.

• Mountain Rice: Another rice dish worth exploring if you have the required mountain-foraged ingredients.

• Laba Congee: A rice-based porridge recipe that offers a different approach to using your Rice harvest.

Tips

• Forest Treasure Bowl has no special buff, so its value is purely in stamina recovery and selling. Prioritize eating buff foods for specific activities (fishing, mining, etc.) and use Forest Treasure Bowl as your general-purpose stamina refill between tasks.

• At 95 seconds of cook time, Forest Treasure Bowl is relatively quick to prepare. You can queue up multiple batches on the Gas Stove while tending to other farm chores.

• Keep a small stockpile of Cooking Oil in your storage at all times. Running out of Cooking Oil is the most common bottleneck for this recipe since Rice and Leek are easy to farm in bulk.

• The recipe costs 490 coins at the Aureleaf Kitchen. Since each cooked dish sells for 374 coins, you recover the recipe purchase cost after selling just two servings.

• Plant Rice and Leek on adjacent farm plots to streamline your harvest-to-cooking workflow. Having both crops near your Campfire or Gas Stove reduces the time spent running between fields and cooking stations.

• Forest Treasure Bowl is a Liked gift for Squirrels, Parrots, Graminova, and Cats. If you are trying to befriend these animals, keeping a few cooked bowls in your inventory lets you hand them out whenever you encounter these creatures during exploration.

• For maximum profit, save your Forest Treasure Bowls and sell them to the Merchant Ship on Monday for 748 coins each. This doubles the base sell price and turns a modest recipe into a strong earner.
