Definition

  1. Verb (Cooking):

    • To sauté: To cook food quickly in a small amount of hot oil or fat in a shallow pan over relatively high heat, often until the surface is seared or browned. This is the primary culinary meaning.
    • To pan-sear: A more specific term emphasizing the technique of browning the surface of food, especially meat, in a hot pan with minimal oil.

  2. Adjective:

    • Sautéed: Describes food that has been cooked using the sauté method.
    • Pan-seared: Describes food, typically meat or fish, with a browned, flavorful crust from being cooked in a hot pan.
Usage Examples

  • Verb:

    • Đầu bếp sẽ áp chảo cá hồi trước khi nướng. (The chef will pan-sear the salmon before baking it.)
    • Bạn nên áp chảo thịt ở lửa lớn. (You should sauté the meat on high heat.)

  • Adjective:

    • Chúng tôi gọi món thịt bò áp chảo. (We ordered the pan-seared beef.)
    • Cá áp chảo ăn kèm sốt bơ chanh rất ngon. (Sautéed fish with lemon butter sauce is very delicious.)
Advanced Usage
  • The term "áp chảo" implies a specific result: a caramelized, flavorful exterior while ideally keeping the interior tender and moist. It is a foundational technique, not a full cooking process, often used as a first step before finishing by another method like braising or roasting.
Variants and Related Words
  • Xào (v): To stir-fry. While similar, "xào" typically involves more tossing and moving of ingredients in a wok, whereas "áp chảo" often involves less movement to achieve a good sear.
  • Rán / Chiên (v): To fry. This is a broader term that can mean deep-frying or shallow-frying, generally using more oil than "áp chảo."
Synonyms
  • Sauté
  • Pan-sear
  • Sear
  • Pan-fry (a close synonym, though sometimes implying slightly more oil or a slightly lower heat than a true sear)
Related Culinary Terms
  • Làm nâu (searing): The process of browning the surface of food to develop flavor.
  • Phi thơm (to fragrance oil): A preliminary step of frying aromatics like garlic or shallots in oil, often done before adding the main ingredient to "áp chảo."
