Xiangling is a five-star Pyro polearm user who hails from Liyue and is always experimenting with fun ingredients alongside her companion, Guoba. Being the Head Chef of Wanmin Restaurant, Xiangling is no stranger to the culinary world. Her Special Dish is called the Wanmin Restaurant's Boiled Fish, an upscale variation of the Black-Back Perch Stew.
How to get Xiangling's Special Dish Recipe in Genshin Impact
You can get the Recipe for Black-Back Perch Stew by purchasing it from Chef Mao at Wanmin Restaurant, which you can find via a unique icon on the map of Liyue Harbor. The Recipe costs 5,000 Mora and is a one-time purchase. Learn it to make any number of Black-Back Perch Stew (and its variations) as you like.
How to cook Wanmin Restaurant's Boiled Fish in Genshin Impact
You can cook Wanmin Restaurant's Boiled Fish on any stove using Xiangling. It's unfortunately not possible to cook the Special Dish if you don't have her. Interact with any bonfire or stove to open the cooking menu and select Black-Back Perch Stew, which can be made with the following ingredients:
- x3 Fish
- x1 Jueyun Chili
- x1 Salt
- x1 Violetgrass
If Xiangling cooks Black-Back Perch Stew, there's a chance for her to make Wanmin Restaurant's Boiled Fish instead. The exact rate for cooking Special Dishes is unknown, but it works on both Manual and Auto Cook modes.
Difference between Black-Back Perch Stew & Wanmin Restaurant's Boiled Fish in Genshin Impact
Both of these are useful recovery dishes that you can consume when you don't have a healer around. However, the Recipe is full of hard-to-get ingredients, so I don't recommend stocking up on these dishes unless you have a lot of extra ingredients in your Inventory.
- Black-Back Perch Stew - Restores 24/28/30 percent of Max HP to the selected character and regenerates 450/620/790 HP every five seconds for 30 seconds.
- Wanmin Restaurant's Boiled Fish - Restores 34 percent of Max HP to the selected character and regenerates 980 HP every five seconds for 30 seconds.
