Fried rice: Day-old rice stir-fried with egg, scallion and whatever the kitchen adds. Yangzhou (Yang Chow) style means shrimp, char siu and peas, and is the version most menus mean by "house special". Good fried rice is dry and separate-grained, never wet. On this menu as: Vegetable Fried Rice · Chicken Fried Rice · Combination Fried Rice.
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 Pao Shrimp · Kung Pao Chicken · Kung Pao 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 Won Ton (8) · Won Ton Soup.
Hunan-style: Hunan (Xiang) cooking is as hot as Sichuan's but leans on fresh and pickled chilies, smoked meats and sour notes instead of numbing peppercorn. Steamed fish head with chopped chili and Chairman Mao's red-braised pork are the signature dishes; "Hunan beef" on American menus is a chili-and-vegetable stir-fry inspired by the style. On this menu as: Hunan Shrimp · Hunan Beef.
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: Fried Pot Stickers (7).
Lo mein: Soft, thick egg noodles boiled and then tossed, not fried, with sauce, vegetables and a protein. Where chow mein is about crispness, lo mein is about slippery, sauce-coated noodles. On this menu as: Seafood Lo Mein.
