Palbochae is a hearty mushroom and vegetable dish similar to Ajillo that you can make in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town.

The best time to cook Palbochae is in Autumn because you can grow and forage most of the ingredients needed for it all season long.

Where To Learn the Recipe

Cooking inspiration is something that happens automatically as you make dishes with different ingredients. Once you’ve cooked with an ingredient a certain number of times, you can unlock a new recipe that uses the same item!

The farmer gets inspired to cook Palbochae while in the kitchen.

To learn the recipe for Palbochae, you need to cook with the following ingredients:

Ingredients	Number of dishes you need to cook
Carrot	3 dishes
Onion
Mushroom
Oil

The quality of the ingredients you use can reduce the number of times you need to cook with that item. You can check the quality by looking at how many stars the ingredient has.

Interface of the fridge with the ingredient quality indicated.

For each additional star that an ingredient has, the number of times you need to cook with it decreases by a factor of 1.

If a recipe states that you have to cook with Onions 10 times to unlock it, you can make any dish with 1-star Onions 10 times. But if you have 2-star Onions, you only need to cook with them around 5 times. Likewise, 5-star Onions will unlock the recipe after only 2 uses.

Recipe Requirements

The farmer harvests Carrots from a field in Autumn.

Equipment Needed

The equipment needed to make Palbochae can be bought from Jeff at the General Store.

The downside is that Jeff sells his kitchen equipment one by one, in 10-day intervals after you buy the first of Gotts’ house remodeling upgrades.

This means that you can only access the next piece of equipment 10 days after the previous one becomes available for purchase.

How To Sell Palbochae

Any dishes made in your kitchen can’t be shipped through Zack and the Shipping Bin. However, you can start selling food to Huang once you become friends with him at 4 friendship notes.

To sell a dish to Huang, talk to him in front of his counter while holding the item. Don’t interact directly with his sprite, as that will register as a gift instead.
