Xiao long bao: Shanghai-style "soup dumplings": a thin pleated wrapper around seasoned pork and a cube of gelatinized stock that melts into hot broth as it steams. Eat them from a spoon: bite a corner, sip the soup, then finish the dumpling with a little black vinegar and ginger. On this menu as: Soup Dumpling · 6 Piece Steamed Crab Meat Pork Soup Dumplings · 6 Piece Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings.
Peking duck: Beijing's showpiece: a whole duck air-dried and roasted until the skin is glass-crisp, carved at the table and wrapped in thin pancakes with scallion, cucumber and sweet bean sauce. Usually ordered ahead and priced whole or half. Cantonese roast duck is a different, marinated bird served chopped over rice. On this menu as: Honey Roast Duck (Half) · Honey Roast Duck (Whole) · Peking Duck.
Har gow: Steamed shrimp dumplings with a translucent, chewy wheat-starch skin pleated around whole or chopped shrimp. The classic test of a dim sum kitchen: the wrapper should be thin enough to see the pink through it but strong enough to lift with chopsticks without tearing. On this menu as: Steamed Pea Shoot with Shrimp Dumplings (6 Piece) · Shrimp Dumplings (4 Piece) · Frozen Pea Shoot w. Shrimp Dumpling.
Tofu (bean curd): Pressed soybean curd, from custard-soft (for mapo tofu and soups) to firm (for stir-fries and braises). Fried tofu puffs soak up sauce; tofu skin (yuba) is the sheet lifted off simmering soy milk, rolled and braised or fried as a "vegetarian duck". On this menu as: Sweet Tofu Pudding · Salted Tofu Pudding · Sauteed Tofu.
Dim sum: The Cantonese tradition of small steamed, fried and baked plates (dumplings, buns, rice rolls, ribs) eaten with tea, usually from mid-morning to early afternoon. Dishes are priced by plate size (small, medium, large, special), so a table of four can try a dozen things for the cost of two entrées. On this menu as: Frozen Dim-Sum (Cook at Home) · Frozen Hong Kong Dim Sum (Cook at Home).
Wonton: Small dumplings in a thin square wrapper, loosely gathered rather than pleated. Served in clear broth (wonton soup, often with egg noodles), deep-fried as an appetizer, or tossed in chili oil as a Sichuan cold plate, "red oil wontons" or hong you chao shou. On this menu as: Pork and Vegetable Wonton in Chili (8 Piece) · Pork and Vegetable Wonton Soup (8 Piece) · Pan Fried Pork and Vegetable Wontons (8 Piece).
