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: Crab Wontons.
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: Curry 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.
Orange chicken: Fried chicken (or crispy beef) in a sticky citrus glaze. Sichuan "orange-peel" (chen pi) beef uses dried tangerine peel for a bitter-aromatic edge; the American fast-casual version is sweeter and uses orange juice and zest. On this menu as: Orange Peel Beef.
Mongolian beef: Thin-sliced beef flash-fried and tossed with scallions and sometimes onion in a glossy soy-and-brown-sugar sauce, often over crispy rice noodles. Taiwanese-American in origin; nothing to do with Mongolian cooking. On this menu as: Mongolian Noodles.
Szechuan-style (American menus): The older Wade-Giles spelling of Sichuan. On American-Chinese menus "Szechuan beef" or "Szechuan chicken" signals a spicy garlic-chili sauce with vegetables; on a Sichuan restaurant's menu the same word means the real thing, so expect Sichuan peppercorn and real heat. On this menu as: Sichuan Street Noodle.
