烀
U+70C0 "烀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in cooking contexts, referring to a method of stewing or braising food in a covered pot with a small amount of liquid, allowing ingredients to cook slowly in their own steam and juices. This term is most common in northern Chinese cuisine, particularly associated with hearty dishes like braised meats or vegetables that become tender and richly flavored through the process. The character combines the radical for fire, indicating heat, with a phonetic component, reflecting its culinary application.
