Dishes to know on this menu

Clay pot rice: Rice cooked to order in an individual earthenware pot with Chinese sausage, chicken, mushrooms or salted fish laid on top, finished with sweet soy. The prize is the crisp, toasted layer of rice that forms against the pot. On this menu as: Pumpkin and Taro Clay Pot · Assorted Vegetable Clay Pot · Fire Braised Japanese Tofu Clay Pot.
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: Shrimp Fried Rice · Gum Kuo Special Fried Rice · Barbecue Pork Fried Rice.
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: Salt and Pepper Tofu · Tofu Skin Salad · Spiced Sauced Tofu.
Salt-and-pepper: A Cantonese fry technique: squid, shrimp, pork chops or tofu dusted in starch, deep-fried, then tossed in a hot wok with salt, white pepper, garlic, scallion and sliced fresh chili. Light, crisp and only mildly hot. On this menu as: Salt and Pepper Pig Bunguts · Salt and Pepper Tofu · Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings.
Black bean sauce: Salted, fermented soybeans (douchi), mashed with garlic and ginger into a pungent, savory sauce. Classic with clams, spare ribs, bitter melon and beef with peppers. On this menu as: Black Bean Spare Ribs Clay Pot Rice · Beef Chow Fun with Black Bean Sauce · Clams Stir Fried in Black Bean Sauce.
Chow fun: Wide, flat rice noodles stir-fried over very high heat with beef, bean sprouts and scallions. "Dry-fried" beef chow fun is the Cantonese benchmark of wok hei, the smoky, charred flavor only a screaming-hot wok produces. On this menu as: Shrimp and Silky Egg Chow Fun · Beef Chow Fun with Black Bean Sauce.
