Definition
加料 is a verb‑object compound (加 'add' + 料 'material'). It means to add ingredients or raw materials, especially in cooking, manufacturing, or chemical processes. It is also used figuratively for 'reinforcement' — adding something extra to make a product stronger or more effective. As a separable verb (离合词), 料 can be separated from 加 when a duration, measure, or aspect marker is inserted, e.g., 加了料 ('added materials').
