— In-Game Description

Hearty Monster Rice Balls is a piece of food in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. When eaten, Hearty Monster Rice Balls grants Link Temporary Hearts, in addition to fully restoring his permanent heart containers. Cooking under a Blood Moon may increase this effect.

It can be made in a lit Cooking Pot using any "Hearty" ingredient, Monster Extract, Hylian Rice, and Rock Salt. The same recipe without the Monster Extract make Hearty Mushroom Rice Balls (using a Hearty Truffle or Big Hearty Truffle) or Hearty Seafood Rice Balls (using a Hearty Bass or Hearty Salmon), or Hearty Veggie Rice Balls (using a Hearty Radish or Big Hearty Radish), etc.

Note that Monster Extract randomizes the strength and duration of effects from dishes it is added to, along with the number of hearts recovered, so the results of the cooked dish can be unpredictable beforehand. If a fifth ingredient with a different effect is added, the effects will cancel out and leave the result as plain Monster Rice Balls or similar once cooked. There is no benefit to cancelling out effects in this manner.
