I realize the title is not extremely descriptive but I'm talking about a cooking style in which a dish is initially cooked in a water-based liquid until the water evaporates completely and then the leftover fat in the pan fries the dish as a finish. This technique pops up in a surprisingly wide range of different cuisines including:

Chinese: Potstickers

Malaysian: Beef Rendang

French: Glazed Carrots

Mexican: Carnitas

Modern American: Cooking Issue style Mushrooms

What are some other examples of recipes that utilize this technique?

PS: I am a guy.

Asparagus. It works the reverse way, too, starting with butter.

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"...in the mid-’90s when the internet was coming...there was a tendency to assume that when all the world’s knowledge comes online, everyone will flock to it. It turns out that if you give everyone access to the Library of Congress, what they do is watch videos on TikTok."  -Neil Stephenson, author, in The Atlantic

 

"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." -Galileo Galilei, physicist and astronomer
