Bakso Simulator 2 Ingredients

Core Ingredients for Every Recipe

Beef balls and rice noodles form the foundation of most bakso recipes. The village meat vendor stocks beef balls every morning from 6 AM to 12 PM in-game time — visit before opening shop or order bulk delivery through Rabas's house laptop for next-day arrival. Rice noodles come from the market noodle stall with unlimited daily stock but no bulk discount, making them a fixed cost across all menu items.

Broth base requires separate purchase from the spice vendor and preparation at the kitchen pot before adding recipe-specific ingredients. One broth batch supports multiple bowls if you manage pot levels efficiently. Classic and spicy recipes share broth, so a broth shortage stops your entire menu regardless of beef ball inventory. Keep at least two broth batches prepared before peak hours using the preparation workflow from our PC controls guide.

• Beef balls — Meat vendor, morning stock. Used in: Classic, Spicy, Garlic, Curry, Dumpling, Royal.
• Rice noodles — Noodle stall, all day. Used in: All recipes except some event specials.
• Broth base — Spice vendor plus pot prep. Used in: All standard recipes.

Specialty and Premium Ingredients

Chili paste and sambal unlock with the spice vendor relationship and power every spicy-variant recipe. Imported chili paste costs three times more than basic seasoning but enables Spicy Bakso margins that justify the expense. Garlic cloves and curry powder arrive later through vendor upgrades and quest rewards — stock them separately since they spoil after two in-game days if not stored in the kitchen refrigerator.

Fishcake slices require the fishing quest supplier license before appearing at any vendor. Tofu cubes come from the produce stall after the sequel update introduces Tofu Bakso. Fried wontons for Dumpling Bakso share the wonton vendor with a separate trust meter from the meat vendor. Premium Royal Bakso Bowl ingredients — egg noodles, fried shallots, lime — come from three different vendors, making bulk laptop ordering essential for efficient restocking documented on our supplies page.

• Chili paste and sambal — Spice vendor. Used in: Spicy, Garlic, Curry bakso.
• Fishcake slices — Fishing quest vendor. Used in: Fishcake Soup.
• Tofu cubes — Produce stall. Used in: Tofu Bakso.
• Fried wontons — Wonton vendor. Used in: Dumpling Bakso.

Ordering and Delivery Workflow

Rabas's house laptop handles bulk ingredient orders that arrive in delivery boxes at your restaurant entrance the next morning. Order before sleeping to skip time efficiently — wake up, unpack boxes with E, and open shop with full stock. The smartphone sends shortage alerts when any ingredient drops below one shift's worth, but proactive laptop ordering prevents emergency vendor runs that waste active customer service time.

Delivery costs a flat fee regardless of order size, so batch purchases maximize value. Group meat, spice, and produce orders into single shipments rather than ordering one ingredient at a time. Compare vendor walk-in prices against delivery totals using our profit calculator — walk-in saves delivery fees for cheap items like noodles, while delivery wins for heavy bulk meat and broth base purchases.

Storage and Spoilage Management

The kitchen refrigerator stores perishable items — garlic, fishcake, tofu, and prepared broth — extending shelf life from two days to five. Non-perishable items like beef balls, noodles, chili paste, and wontons sit in storage shelves indefinitely. Organize storage so Rabas and hired cooks grab ingredients without searching multiple rooms across your multi-floor shop layout from the placement guide.

Spoiled ingredients cannot be used and must be discarded, wasting purchase cost entirely. Check refrigerator contents every morning during your pre-open routine. During supernatural story events, some NPCs offer free ingredient bundles — accept these before bulk ordering to avoid overstock that spoils before use. Cross-reference active recipes on the all recipes page before ordering to match supply quantities with your current menu slots.
