Dishes to know on this menu

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 · Chicken Soup Dumplings.
Turnip cake: A savory steamed cake of grated daikon radish and rice flour, studded with Chinese sausage and dried shrimp, cut into slabs and pan-fried until the outside browns. Despite the name there is no turnip in it; the Cantonese word for daikon translates that way. On this menu as: Turnip Cake.
Dan dan noodles: A Sichuan street dish: wheat noodles under a sauce of chili oil, Sichuan peppercorn, sesame paste and preserved vegetable, topped with crumbled fried pork and stirred together at the table. Numbing, nutty and savory rather than simply hot. On this menu as: Dan Dan Noodle · Breakfast Dan Dan Noodle.
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: Steak Fried Rice · Seafood Fried Rice.
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: Beef Pan Fried Dumplings.
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: Spicy Wontons.
