Shenhe hails from a family of exorcists but was taken in by Cloud Retainer early on, making her habitually eat mountain plants like Qingxin instead of cooked food. But in her quest to adapt to human life, she's learned a few culinary tricks that you can appreciate through her Special Dish called Heartstring Noodles, a variation of Dragon Beard Noodles.
How to get Shenhe's Special Dish Recipe in Genshin Impact
You can obtain the Recipe for Dragon Beard Noodles by purchasing it from Chef Mao in Wanmin Restaurant, which you can find through its unique icon in the Liyue World Map. The Recipe costs 5,000 Mora and allows you to make as many Dragon Beard Noodles and other variations of the dish.
How to cook Heartstring Noodles in Genshin Impact
You can cook Heartstring Noodles on any stove using Shenhe. It's unfortunately not possible to cook the Special Dish if you haven't pulled for her. Interact with any bonfire or stove to open the cooking menu and select Dragon Beard Noodles, which can be made with the following ingredients:
- x4 Flour
- x2 Foul
- x2 Mushroom
- x1 Ham
Ham can be processed using Raw Meat, while Flour can likewise be processed using Wheat. If Shenhe cooks Dragon Beard Noodles, there's a chance for her to make Heartstring Noodles instead. The success rate for cooking Special Dishes is unknown, but it works on both Manual and Auto Cook modes.

- Heartstring Noodles - Increases all party members' Attack by 274 for 300 seconds.
