Braising
Combination MethodsFirst browning food in fat, then slow-cooking partially submerged in liquid. Transforms tough cuts into tender, flavorful dishes.
ð¬ ä»çµã¿
Initial browning creates flavor through Maillard reaction. Long, slow cooking in liquid breaks down collagen into gelatin, tenderizing tough cuts.
