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.

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"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."

 

A king can stand people's fighting, but he can't last long if people start thinking. -Will Rogers, humorist
