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: Fried Rice · BBQ Pork Fried Rice · Beef 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: Seaweed and Tofu with Pork Soup · Vegetables and Tofu · Braised Dry Scallop, Enoki Mushroom and Japanese Tofu.
Chow mein: Stir-fried egg noodles. Cantonese-style versions crisp the noodles into a pancake and pour the stir-fry over them; the softer, tossed-together style is more common on American-Chinese menus. Either way the name means "fried noodles". On this menu as: Chow Mein and Chow Fun · Beef with Black Bean Sauce Chow Mein · Buddha's Delight Chow Mein.
Hot pot: A simmering pot of broth at the table (Sichuan-style red with chili and peppercorn, or mild bone, tomato or mushroom) into which diners cook thin-sliced meats, seafood, tofu, greens and noodles, then dip them in sauces they mix themselves. Priced per person or per plate of ingredients. On this menu as: Hotpot · Chicken with Chestnut Hot Pot · Chicken, Chinese Sausage and Black Mushroom Hot Pot.
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: Chicken with Black Bean Sauce · Fish Fillet with Black Bean Sauce · Oyster with 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: Chow Mein and Chow Fun · Beef Chow Fun Dry Style · Sliced Beef & Vegetable Chow Fun with Gravy.
