It sells for 744 Coins, which also makes it one of the most valuable dishes you can cook for profit.
The recipe is purchased from the Aureleaf Kitchen in Starsand Town. Once you have the recipe in hand and a steady supply of Eggs, Rice, Corn, and Meat Bites, Yangzhou Fried Rice becomes a reliable source of high-tier healing and a strong money-maker.

The 148-second cook time is among the longest of any dish. If you plan to cook Yangzhou Fried Rice in bulk, consider building multiple Campfires or Gas Stoves so you can run several batches at the same time.
The Yangzhou Fried Rice recipe is sold at the Aureleaf Kitchen in Starsand Town. The restaurant is open from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Walk up to the cash register to browse the recipe shop. Yangzhou Fried Rice is one of the most expensive recipes on the menu, so make sure you bring enough gold before visiting.
You do not need to complete any specific quest or trial to unlock this recipe. As long as you have the gold, you can buy it at any point in the game. That said, the ingredient requirements (particularly Rice and Corn) mean you will not be able to cook it until you have unlocked the relevant farming infrastructure.
Yangzhou Fried Rice calls for four ingredients, each with its own sourcing path. Keeping a reliable pipeline for all four is key to cooking this dish regularly.
Ingredient | Quantity | How to Obtain |
|---|---|---|
2 | Collected from Chickens or Ducks in your ranch. Chickens produce Eggs daily once fed. Ducks also lay Eggs at regular intervals. | |
4 | Grown in Paddy Fields. Requires the Senior Farmer profession tier to plant. Rice grows in all seasons with a 5-day growth cycle and yields 4 per harvest. | |
2 | Grown in regular farmland during Summer. Corn has a 4-day growth cycle and yields 2 per harvest. Seeds are available from the Happiness Seed Shop. | |
3 | Processed from raw meat (Pork, Fowl, or Beef) at a processing station. Fowl is the easiest to obtain early on by raising Chickens. |
Rice is typically the bottleneck. Each plate of Yangzhou Fried Rice consumes 4 Rice, and Paddy Fields require the Senior Farmer profession tier plus a Powered Hoe to prepare. Plan your farm layout to include several Paddy Field plots dedicated to Rice if you intend to cook this dish regularly.
At 744 Coins per dish, Yangzhou Fried Rice is one of the highest-value meals you can sell. However, the four-ingredient recipe and the 148-second cook time mean the profit margin depends heavily on how cheaply you can source each ingredient.

For pure coin-per-effort efficiency, simpler recipes like Golden Fried Rice (303 Coins for just 2x Egg and 4x Rice, with a 61-second cook time) may actually produce better returns over time because they cook faster and require fewer ingredients. Yangzhou Fried Rice shines when you value healing output alongside profit, or when you sell through the Merchant Ship at the 200% markup.
Yangzhou Fried Rice provides +192 stamina, placing it in the top tier of cooked foods. Here is how it compares to other high-recovery options:

Among campfire and gas stove dishes, Yangzhou Fried Rice has the highest stamina recovery. Only certain juices and jams (like Chilled Bayberry Juice or Star Mango Jam) exceed it, and those require different crafting stations.
Several other dishes share ingredients with Yangzhou Fried Rice. If you are already farming Rice, Eggs, Corn, or Meat Bites, these recipes make good use of your surplus:
Recipe | Shared Ingredient | Sell Price | |

+116 | 303 Coins | ||
+60 | 88 Coins | ||
+119 | 316 Coins | ||

Build at least two Campfires or Gas Stoves so you can cook multiple batches of Yangzhou Fried Rice simultaneously. The 148-second cook time adds up fast when you are preparing food for exploration runs.
Keep a surplus of Rice in storage at all times. Each plate requires 4 Rice, so a single harvest of 4 Rice only covers one dish. Dedicate several Paddy Field plots to Rice production.
The Gourmet skill line in the cooking profession increases the stamina and HP restored by all food items. Leveling this skill makes Yangzhou Fried Rice even more effective as a healing item.
If you are short on Meat Bites, raise Chickens for Fowl. Chickens provide both Eggs and Fowl, covering two of the four required ingredients from a single animal type.
Sell Yangzhou Fried Rice through the Merchant Ship whenever it docks for maximum profit. At 1,488 Coins per dish (200% markup), it is one of the most lucrative items to sell through the ship.
