Place the wok on top of a heat source such as a campfire or a Stove. Every block Farm & Charm accepts as a heat source works. A wok on a campfire sits right on the flames, otherwise it needs a solid block below.

A cold wok does nothing. The block info shows "Needs Heat" when a heat source is missing. The hotter the fire, the faster the wok cooks, see Heat & Soul Fire.

How many dishes you get depends on how well you cooked: one dish for one flame, up to three dishes for three flames, and one more on soul fire, see Flames & Timing. Take them out with an empty hand. The wok can also hang on a Farm & Charm Tool Rack.

1. Start. Right click the hot wok with the first ingredient. The first ingredient has to start a recipe.

2. Build. Add more ingredients, up to six. Every step can already be a dish of its own: Rice is Simple Fried Rice, Rice and Egg are Egg Fried Rice, and so on. Once a dish is going you can also throw in any other food and improvise, you will end up with a Mixed Stir-Fry.

3. Toss. Every 5 seconds a bell rings and the wok shows "Toss!". Right click with an empty hand right away for a perfect toss. Tossing late makes the wok smoke, missing the toss completely costs a flame.

Flambé! Use flint and steel on the cooking wok for a huge burst of flames and one extra flame on the dish. But never while the wok calls for a toss, or the dish burns on the spot.

4. Finish. Right click with Fermented Sauce once you are happy with the dish. After the sauce, no more ingredients can be added.

5. Serve. When the wok shows "Ready to Serve!", right click with an empty hand.

Every dish starts with three flames. A missed toss costs one flame, two late tosses cost one flame, and serving outside the perfect window costs one more. A flambé gives one flame back. A dish never drops below one flame.

The perfect window is 2 seconds before to 2 seconds after the cooking time. Better dishes are more filling, you get more of them, and they make you Rested for longer on tatami.

The heat source below the wok decides how fast it cooks and steams. More heat means quicker dishes, but also shorter windows for tossing, serving and before the dish burns.

Everything cooked over soul fire gets blue soul flames and a blue tooltip border. Soul fire gives one more dish per serving, and a perfect three flame dish from soul fire gives an even bigger food bonus.

Add the ingredients in exactly this order, then finish with Fermented Sauce.

Right click a Wok with a Bamboo Steamer to put it on top. The wok must not be cooking or hold any dishes. The steamer only works while the wok is heated.

Right click the steamer with an ingredient to fill it, one kind of ingredient at a time, up to a full stack. Right click with an empty hand to take the finished food out. Shift and right click with an empty hand takes the steamer off again, its contents drop on the ground.

Hoppers can feed the steamer from the top or sides and take the finished food from below. A Rattan Basket next to it collects the results automatically.

Shift and right click the top of a solid block with a Noodle Bowl or Pork Dumplings to put the dish down on a plate. Shift and right click the plate with the same dish to add more, up to four servings.

Right click with an empty hand to eat a serving straight from the plate. Shift and right click to take one back. The plate disappears with the last serving.

The Cutting Board, the Cleavers and the Mincer are part of Farm & Charm. Wok & Bowl adds the following recipes. Cutting Board recipes need 3 chops with a regular knife, cleavers use their own number.

Chopped Pork only comes from the Mincer. A Porkchop on the Cutting Board still gives Bacon.

Cutting Board results go straight into a nearby open Ingredient Cubby or Rattan Basket.

Place the ingredients on an empty Cutting Board without a tool, then right click with an empty hand. The order does not matter.

Raw dumplings and buns still need to be steamed in the Bamboo Steamer.

The cubby is placed closed. Click a side to open or close it. When it is open, click one of the four compartments on top to fill it with the item in your hand or take items out. Hold Shift to take a whole stack.

Look at a compartment to see what is inside and how many. An open cubby next to a Cutting Board catches everything you chop.

The Rattan Basket is a 27 slot container that pulls finished items out of stations right next to it: output from the Bamboo Steamer, results from the Cutting Board and the output of other stations. Wok dishes stay in the wok until you take them out yourself.

It also catches items dropped on top of it and fresh drops from the Mincer and Crafting Bowl. Watch the items fly in!

Right click with an empty hand to switch the lantern on or off. It can stand or hang. A fresh lantern has natural paper, right click with a dye to give the paper a soft colour. Only the paper is dyed and glows, the wooden frame stays as it is.

Outdoors on clear nights, fireflies gather around paper lanterns. Fireflies are a Farm & Charm feature and can be turned off in its config.

Right click to sit down. Jump on it and it bounces you back up, with a puff of feathers in its colour. It also halves fall damage.

Right click with a dye to recolour it.

Tatami is made from a Hay Bale and Rattan Cane. Eat any Wok & Bowl food while standing on it and you get the Farm & Charm Rested effect for 60 seconds. Every flame above the first adds 50% to the duration.

A decorative block that behaves like a Hay Bale. Place it upright or on its side.

Cook every wok dish, every steamed dish and every roll, ball and cake to unlock the challenge "Master of the Wok". The Mixed Stir-Fry does not count. It rewards you with 800 experience and the Wok & Bowl Completionist Banner.

When placed, the banner grants Speed to all players within 8 blocks.

Nine Rice or Sticky Rice make one bag, and a bag turns back into nine grains in the crafting grid.

Fermented Sauce finishes every wok dish, Broth goes into the Noodle Bowl and Cured Meat fills buns and bowls.

Broth gives its glass bottle back when you pour it into the wok.

If a dish is not served within 6 seconds after its cooking time, it burns and turns into Burnt Wok Dish. The tooltip remembers who let it burn.

Right click the wok with an empty hand and it tips the burnt dish out. Anyone can do that, even if the dish belonged to another player.

It is edible, if you must, and makes a decent furnace fuel.

Values are nutrition / saturation modifier for a one flame dish. Three flame dishes get +10%, two flame dishes +5%, three soul flames +20%.

Wild Rice is a two block tall plant. It grows in small patches on grass and mud in swamps and mangrove swamps, and rarely along rivers.

Break it for 1 to 3 Rice, with a 15% chance for Sticky Rice on top. Fortune increases the rice drop. Use bone meal on it for a 60% chance to get the Wild Rice plant itself, for example for a Rice Bundle.

On clear nights, fireflies dance above it.

Right click Fertilized Farmland with a shovel to dig it down into a Rice Paddy. The block above has to be empty.

Now flood it: a rice paddy can be waterlogged, and only a flooded paddy accepts rice. The easiest way is to pour a water bucket onto it.

Plant Rice in a flooded Rice Paddy. It needs a light level of 9 or more and grows much faster than wheat by default.

Rice has five growth stages and grows two blocks tall from the fourth stage on, so keep the block above free. Harvest it when fully grown. Rice is also the seed, so you can replant straight away.

Sticky Rice grows like Rice, but has six growth stages and pauses at stage 2 and 4 until you fertilize it. Hungry plants look withered, give off ash and are shown in the block info as "Needs Fertilizer".

Use bone meal or Fertilizer on a hungry plant to wake it up. The first bone meal only feeds it, the next one makes it grow.

You get your first Sticky Rice as a rare drop from Wild Rice.

Rattan Branches grow on the sides of jungle logs in jungle biomes.

Right click a mature branch to harvest 1 to 3 Rattan Cane. The branch stays and grows back over time, bone meal speeds it up. Break it with a Cleaver to take the branch with you and plant it on a jungle log of your own. Without a cleaver it only drops sticks.

Rattan Cane is used for the Rattan Basket, Rattan furniture, Tatami and the Rice Bundle.

Look for Wild Rice in swamps, mangrove swamps or, rarely, along rivers and break it to get your first Rice. No swamp nearby? Check village chests, a farmer or the wandering trader.

Craft a Wok and place it on top of a heat source, for example a campfire or a Stove. Brew Fermented Sauce in the Cooking Pot.

Right click the hot wok with Rice, toss it whenever it asks you to, finish with Fermented Sauce and serve with an empty hand. Congratulations, that is Simple Fried Rice!

When you look at a Wok, a Bamboo Steamer, an Ingredient Cubby or a Plate, a small overlay shows its contents and the next step. The wok even tells you which ingredients can start, continue or finish a dish. While you cook, your own wok stays on screen as long as you are within 8 blocks.

Item tooltips tell you where a Wok, Rattan Branch, Bamboo Steamer or placeable dish can go. The Ingredient Cubby and Rattan Basket explain themselves in their tooltip, hold Shift for more information.

All options can be changed in the config screen (Mod Menu on Fabric) or in the config file. Food values of every item can be changed as well and need a restart.
