To learn the recipe for Spicy Pepper Steak, you need to cook with the following ingredients:

Ingredients	Number of dishes you need to cook
Bamboo Shoot	10 dishes
Green Pepper
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 Green Peppers 10 times to unlock it, you can make any dish with 1-star Green Peppers 10 times.

But if you have 2-star Green Peppers, you only need to cook with them around 5 times. Likewise, 5-star Green Peppers will unlock the recipe after only 2 uses.

How To Sell Spicy Pepper Steak

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, speak to him in front of his counter while holding the item. Don’t interact directly with his sprite, as it will register as a gift instead.

The farmer stands in front of Huang’s counter while holding a plate of Spicy Pepper Steak.

Huang will then offer you a price, which you can actually reject for a chance at getting him to bid higher.

The price range for Spicy Pepper Steak is anywhere between 380 G and 470 G.

If Huang offers you 410 G for the item, for example, you can turn him down and try again to get a higher price.

Huang offers to buy Spicy Pepper Steak from the farmer.

Keep in mind that his bids will never go lower or higher than this defined range, so 470 G is the maximum price you can get for selling Spicy Pepper Steak.
