Gamers of any genre would agree that food is essential on any occasion. Be it filling the hunger bar, boosting the party's attack, or even resurrecting the dead. Food always plays a vital role in any game we play. In this guide, we will venture thru the best defense-boosting dishes in Genshin Impact.

10. Mora Meat

Who said you couldn't cook something with only two ingredients?  Mora Meat is precisely that dish. You can make one of the game's famous dishes with just a piece of Meat and Flour, which is helpful for beginners who are still struggling in the game's early stages.

What is it?

A large hunk of minced meat packaged inside of a pastry. When you split the pastry in two, minced meat spills out. The taste of meat grease is all but gone, and the baking process has brought out the sweetness of the pastry. Such pastries are usually stamped with the word "Mora," all the better to represent wealth and fortune.

8. Grilled Tiger Fish

Any Genshin Impact player will recognize this grilled fish. The essential and well-known cuisine of Liyue is the go-to healing dish of novice players in the game since it is simple to create with few ingredients. It was once known as "Grilled Ticker Fish," however due to the rapid decline of the Ticker Fish population, the recipe has evolved over time.

This dumpling, loosely modeled on the cuisine "har gow," is as effective in healing as it tastes in real life. Any traveler may create this cuisine using simple ingredients.

What is it?

• One of Liyue's traditional snacks. The stuffing is taken from whole fresh shrimp, and the glistening quality of the flour can be guessed at from the translucence of the outer skin. Has a springy, tasty chew.

This delicacy from the world-famous Shumai looks and tastes so good that it aids in the recovery of your characters' injuries (with bonus healing as well). This Chinese-inspired meal is one of Liyue's favorite snacks.

What is it?

• One of Liyue's traditional snacks. The egg has been beaten into the flour to form a dough and the shrimp and fish have been diced, minced, and packaged into the shape of a teacup, before being garnished with whole shrimp and steamed in a pot. The resulting design is like that of clouds embracing the moon, hence the name Fullmoon Egg.

3. Squirrel Fish

The Squirrel Fish, an iconic Asian dish, is as well-known in the game as it is in real life. Travelers may cook this efficient restorative dish on the go with simple materials.

What is it?

• A hard-to-prepare fish dish. The fish is first completely deboned before crisscross cuts are made on the skin. The fish is then coated in flour and deep-fried to a golden-brown color, then served with ketchup drizzled on top. It is tender and juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.

2. Universal Peace

This is one of my personal favorites. This cuisine is one of the most widely used in the game due to its easy ingredients. The ingredients for this dinner are commonly available and reasonably priced at marketplaces and merchants because it has become a staple in Liyue cuisine. This meal is trendy among gamers due to its ease of access and good restorative properties.

What is it?

This dish is mainly known for its meaning as a symbol of prosperity and peace, and less so for its taste. However, with such noble ideals behind it, its flavor should not disappoint.
