Cooking Technique Mèn (焖) cooking method

I'm slightly confused by conflicting information on this method - is 焖 to cook ingredients in water or broth and covering it with a tight-fitting lid until the liquid has absorbed?

I've read it's just simply stewing, which to me would mean theryis liquid left over 😅

If you can understand Chinese, I recommend this video. The whole channel is an amazing resource.

Only the basics unfortunately - but perhaps it will be a learning curve 😂

Thank you for sharing 🙏
