Dishes to know on this menu

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 Pork Riblets · Sweet & Sour Fish Fillet · Sweet & Sour Crispy Eel.
Shaoxing wine: Amber rice wine from Shaoxing in Zhejiang, used the way Western kitchens use dry sherry: to deglaze, marinate and round out braises. Drunken chicken and red-braised pork depend on it. On this menu as: Osmanthus Rice Wine · Yellow Rice Wine · Shao Xing 10 Year.
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: Uni Tofu Stew · Yellow Lantern Beef Over Silken Tofu · Crab Meat Tofu Stew.
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: Pork Soup Dumplings · Crab Meat Pork Soup Dumplings · Black Truffle Pork Soup Dumplings.
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: Homemade Dim Sum.
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: Golden Egg Fried Rice · Stir Fried Rice Cakes.
