How it's used

Focuses on the result of cooking rather than the act of marinating itself. It implies that the seasoning has successfully penetrated deep into the ingredients, creating a balanced and rich taste. It is commonly used to praise dishes that require long cooking times, such as stews or braised meats.

Examples

Common phrases

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe the act of adding seasoning, as it specifically describes the state of the food after the flavours have been absorbed. Do not confuse it with 夠味, which simply means a dish has enough salt or seasoning without necessarily implying deep penetration.
