U+70E9 "烩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+70E9 "烩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to cook with a thick sauce" or "to stew" and is commonly used in culinary contexts to describe a method of preparing braised or mixed dishes often featuring a blend of ingredients in a rich, starchy gravy. In Simplified Chinese, it appears as “烩” while its Traditional counterpart is “燴,” and it belongs to the radical for fire (火), reflecting its association with cooking processes. This character is frequently encountered in menu items such as "烩饭" (huìfàn), meaning mixed rice with sauce, or "烩菜" (huìcài), a hearty stewed vegetable and meat dish, and it carries a practical, everyday usage in Chinese cuisine rather than any profound philosophical or historical symbolism.
