a cooking method in a closed vessel

Please watch this short video and tell me the name of  the cooking process in Teochew - not gog4 - this is not a Teochew word.

Chicken legs cook in a pot with Puning bean sauce

Prawns cook in a covered pot with bean sauce.


Pou2lêng5 is said as Puning in Mandarin. It is famous for many food items including "Pou2lêng5 dao7zion3" or Puning bean sauce.  I find the bean sauce too salty and I wash the preserved beans before cooking with it. 

I think the Teochew word is hib4  and in Mandarin is men4 焖 and in Cantonese is guk6 焗

What do you think?
