HoYoVerse shares a series of Liyue Cuisine Collection videos showing Genshin Impact recipes being made in real life, and the April 17, 2023 video falling on the birthday of Xiao features his favorite meal. It shows how Almond Tofu looks in the real world. As this is his favorite dish, the animation accompanying the cooking video also stars the adeptus.
The Genshin Impact Almond Tofu video features Smiley Yanxiao and Xiao initially. Then, it starts looking at actual food preparation. Things begin with dried osmanthus. Then, it also shows how rock sugar is used in the Almond Tofu recipe. Honey is added after both of those ingredients to create the osmanthus syrup for the dish. (An alternate method of making it is also shown.) From there, tricolor dough wrappers are rolled and made, then combined with lotus paste. That’s chilled. Almonds are boiled and peeled after that. That essentially is ground and becomes almond dew. Starch is added to that. Beetroot juice, spinach juice, and glutinous rice flour are involved after that. It also goes into the creation of lotus flower crisps.
As a reminder, making actual Almond Tofu is much easier in Genshin Impact, as it only involves an almond, one sugar, and three milks. People get that recipe at Wangshu Inn’s kitchen. It increases the party’s attack for a limited time.
As is common with character birthdays in Genshin Impact, HoYoVerse shared pictures of Xiao on social media for the event.
Happy Birthday, #Xiao!
"After all this time I spent with you, it seems I unwittingly started to look forward to my own birthday too."
