How to Make Steamed Tomatoes in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Steamed Tomatoes are one of the new dishes you can cook in Tears of the Kingdom. Due to how common their ingredients are, it’s a good meal if you’re missing a few hearts. One perk to Steamed Tomatoes is how easy it is to make a Steamed Tomatoes meal that gives buffs, such as Speed or Stealth Up. If you’re someone who likes upgrading your horse’s stats, a feature exclusive to Tears of the Kingdom and not its predecessor, Breath of the Wild, then you’ll want to have a few Steamed Tomatoes on hand when you visit the Malanya Spring.

What Ingredients to Use?

To make Steamed Tomatoes, you’ll need at least one Hylian Tomato and one Wild Green (ex: Hyrule Herb). Once you have these, you can combine them in a cooking pot. Hylian Tomatoes are the more-obvious ingredient here, but Wild Greens is a category of ingredients. This allows you to cook different types of Steamed Tomatoes that won’t just heal you, but can also buff you depending on the second ingredient (ie: Wild Greens).

Cooking a Hylian Tomato by itself will result in a

You can increase the amount of health recovered by cooking Steamed Tomatoes during a Blood Moon or adding more than one Hylian Tomato. The more Hylian Tomatoes you have, the more hearts you can receive from Steamed Tomatoes.

Here’s how to make every type of Steamed Tomatoes in Tears of the Kingdom:

	Ingredients Required (at least one of each)	Meal Effect
Steamed Tomatoes	x1 Hylian Tomato x1 Hyrule Herb or Korok Frond	N/A
Sunny Steamed Tomatoes	x1 Hylian Tomato x1 Sundelion or Sun Pumpkin	Restores damage from Gloom.
Hearty Steamed Tomatoes	x1 Hylian Tomato x1 Hearty Radish or Big Hearty Radish	Grants bonus Hearts.
Chilly Steamed Tomatoes	x1 Hylian Tomato x1 Cool Safflina	Provides Heat Resistance.
Spicy Steamed Tomatoes	x1 Hylian Tomato x1 Warm Safflina	Provides Cold Resistance.
Mighty Steamed Tomatoes	x1 Hylian Tomato x1 Mighty Thistle	Grants Attack boost.
Tough Steamed Tomatoes	x1 Hylian Tomato x1 Armoranth or Fortified Pumpkin	Grants Defense boost.
Hasty Steamed Tomatoes	x1 Hylian Tomato x1 Swift Violet or Swift Carrot	Increases Movement Speed.
Sneaky Steamed Tomatoes	x1 Hylian Tomato x1 Silent Princess or Blue Nightshade	Increases Stealth.
Electro Steamed Tomatoes	x1 Hylian Tomato x1 Electric Safflina	Increases resistance to Shock effect.
Enduring Steamed Tomatoes	x1 Hylian Tomato x1 Endura Carrot	Grants bonus Stamina.
Energizing Steamed Tomatoes	x1 Hylian Tomato x1 Stambulb	Restores Stamina.

If you’re using Wild Greens that grant buffs, then you will want to avoid mixing Wild Greens with different effects. This will cause the buff to cancel out. For example: Cook a Hylian Tomato and two Swift Violets, not a Hylian Tomato, one Swift Violet, and one Cool Safflina.

Where to Find Steamed Tomatoes Ingredients

Kakariko Village, Hyrule Field, and Hyrule Ridge

Depending on what type of Steamed Tomatoes you want to make, you’ll need to search specific regions of Hyrule to farm the Wild Greens. If, for example, you want to make Chilly Steamed Tomatoes, then you’ll want to look for Cool Safflinas, which can be found in the Gerudo Highlands or Gerudo Summit. Likewise, if you want Spicy Steamed Tomatoes, you’ll need Warm Safflinas instead. Thus, the best “Wild Greens” ingredient you’ll want for Steamed Tomatoes are the Hyrule Herbs. These can be found in Hyrule Field and Hyrule Ridge. You can also purchase them from certain vendors.

Hylian Tomatoes appear in Hyrule Field as well, but you can find them specifically growing along the path leading into Kakariko Village (2064, -1190, 0137). There are also Hylian Tomatoes near the Riverside Stable and Batrea Lake. Otherwise, if you’ve unlocked the farm/crops in Hateno Village, you can have Uma grow them for you.

Upgrade Horses at Malanya Spring

The obvious way to use Steamed Tomatoes is to eat them. Depending on the amount of tomatoes and wild greens you used when making them, the health restored and potential buff length will vary. However, if you have stronger meals, then you can either sell the Steamed Tomatoes to earn a few rupees, or you can give them to Malanya to upgrade a horse.

Malanya can be found at the appropriately-named Malanya Spring. When you first meet him, he’ll want one Endura Carrot, but after this, you’ll be able to revive any of your horses or upgrade them. To upgrade horses, you’ll need to give Malanya meals. There are four categories that you can upgrade: Strength, Speed, Stamina, and Pull.

You will need Steamed Tomatoes to upgrade the following stat:

	Required Meals/Cost	How to Make
Speed ★★★★	x3 Glazed Veggies x3 Steamed Tomatoes	Glazed Veggies x1 Herb (ex: Hyrule Herb) x1 Courser Bee Honey Steamed Tomatoes x1 Hylian Tomato x1 Wild Green (ex: Hyrule Herb)
