Szechuan-style (American menus): The older Wade-Giles spelling of Sichuan. On American-Chinese menus "Szechuan beef" or "Szechuan chicken" signals a spicy garlic-chili sauce with vegetables; on a Sichuan restaurant's menu the same word means the real thing, so expect Sichuan peppercorn and real heat. On this menu as: Szechuan Lobster · Szechuan Chicken · Szechuan Beef.
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: Fried Wonton (8) · Wonton Soup.
Kung pao: Diced chicken (or shrimp, tofu) stir-fried with dried chilies, Sichuan peppercorns, scallion and peanuts in a sweet-sour-savory glaze. The Sichuan original is dark, tangy and numbing; the American-Chinese version tends to be sweeter, saucier and heavier on the vegetables. On this menu as: Kung Po Beef · Kung Po Shrimp.
Char siu: Cantonese barbecued pork: strips of shoulder or belly marinated in hoisin, honey, soy and five-spice, roasted until the edges char and lacquer red. Sliced over rice, folded into buns, or hung in the window with roast duck and soy chicken. On this menu as: Roast Pork · Honey BBQ Pork.
Sweet and sour: Battered pork, chicken or shrimp in a bright glaze of vinegar, sugar and ketchup or hawthorn, with pineapple, onion and bell pepper. The Cantonese original (gu lao rou) is tangier and less neon than the takeout version. On this menu as: Sweet & Sour Chicken · Sweet & Sour Shrimp.
Potstickers: Crescent-shaped dumplings (jiaozi) pan-fried on one side until crisp, then steamed in the same pan so the tops stay tender. Boiled versions of the same dumpling are usually listed as "boiled dumplings" or shui jiao; the fillings (pork and cabbage, pork and chive, shrimp, or vegetable) are the same. On this menu as: Pot Stickers (6).
