The Yakuza series! It’s a Japanese video game franchise that combines high melodrama and low-brow goofiness with lots of surprisingly sincere moments and I love it. My husband and I enjoy playing games together, especially RPGs, and Yakuza 0 was the first Yakuza game we played. This recipe is a tribute to that experience and a nod to the love of food, including ramen, you can find in the games.
Parsnip Soup from Stardew Valley
This is the first recipe Caroline sends you when you reach a high enough relationship with her. She appears to be a big fan of vegetable gardening and champions how wonderful it is to cook with your own home-grown produce. She is, admittedly, not wrong.
Bean Hotpot from Stardew Valley
Bean hotpot! It's one of Demetrius's favorite meals, it's healthy, it...might help you mine. At least, that's what Clint says when he sends you the recipe.
