That’s right; the vegetables you use will determine the dish’s status effect, so be careful with what you pick! You can shape the meal to give you movement speed bonuses, more health, and other fun perks. Just don’t mix and match vegetables with different statuses, or they’ll cancel each other out.
How to Get Vegetable Risotto Ingredients in Tears of the Kingdom
The most important part of making any cooked dish is making sure you have the right ingredients! Below is a list of the locations and coordinates I found to gather each item for vegetable risotto:
- Any Vegetable: Purchase from general stores or harvest in the wild. Examples include pumpkins and carrots.
- Rock Salt: Mine from ore deposits around Hyrule or buy from the Goron City General Store (1680, 2464, 0385)
- Goat Butter: Hateno Village General Store (3357, -2169, 0120), Kakariko General Store (1807, -1026, 0112), and Rito Village General Store (-3645, 1820, 0184)
- Hylian Rice: Lookout Landing General Store (-0209, 0078, 0019) and Hateno Village General Store (3357, -2169, 0120)

Most of the ingredients you need are available as soon as you enter Hateno Village for the first time. You can buy three of the required items from the general store, including carrots and pumpkins as vegetables. The only exception is rock salt, which you can buy in Goron City or obtain in the wild.
Be careful with which ingredients you use! I quickly experimented with three recipes, with Hylian tomatoes, spicy pepper, and Swift carrot as the vegetables. The first two resulted in Simmered Fruit, while the carrot created vegetable risotto. You’ll also want to avoid using mushrooms, as they’ll instead make mushroom risotto!
