Dishes to know on this menu

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: Short Rib Lo Mein · Crab Lo Mein.
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: Mr. Crab's Fried Rice.
Mapo tofu: Soft tofu in a glossy red sauce of fermented broad-bean paste (doubanjiang), chili and ground Sichuan peppercorn, traditionally with a little minced beef or pork. The name honors the pockmarked (ma) old woman (po) said to have invented it in Chengdu; a vegetarian version is common. On this menu as: Mapo Tofu.
Chongqing chicken: Bite-sized fried chicken buried in a mound of dried red chilies and Sichuan peppercorn. The chilies are for aroma, not eating, so pick through them for the crisp, numbing-hot chicken. On this menu as: Chongqing Chicken.
Crab rangoon: Fried wonton purses filled with cream cheese and imitation crab, served with sweet-and-sour or duck sauce. A mid-century American tiki-restaurant invention that became a takeout fixture; there is no Rangoon connection. On this menu as: Crab Rangoon.
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: Mapo Tofu.
