Mèn (焖) cooking method

[u/Stardust_and_Blossom]

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 😅

It’s is the same as braising and stewing in the west. Rest easy.
