Broken raw, commonly known as "eight-minute cooked", is to heat the raw materials until they have no raw smell and are close to a mature state. Oil-cooking and blanching should be done in such a way that the ingredients are cooked to a certain degree. This is because after the raw materials are oil-cooked and blanched, they need to be returned to the pot for formal cooking. Therefore, it is necessary to slide to the point of ending life.

If it is blanched or smoothed and then cooked in a pot, the texture of the dishes will become hard or crispy, the color will become darker, and the flavor will be lost. If the oil is oily and the blanch is not done to the extent of breaking it off, the cooking time will be extended, resulting in a dull color and odor that will not be removed, affecting the quality of the finished dish. Only after the raw materials are smoothed and cooked are they ready for the next step of cooking.

In recipes, you can often see the word "duan sheng" used.

For example: "Break the cauliflower into small florets with your hands, wash them with clean water, blanch them in a pot of boiling water, scoop them out and soak them raw in a basin of cold boiled water, remove the water, and put them into a plate. Sprinkle salt and mix well to taste.”
