Braised dishes come in two styles: steamed braised and wok braised. Steamed braised involves steaming the main ingredient first and then pouring a delicious sauce over it. Wok braised involves cooking the ingredient in a pot with excellent broth and thickening the sauce appropriately. This method is light and low in oil, making it most suitable for consumption in summer.
