Hunan-style: Hunan (Xiang) cooking is as hot as Sichuan's but leans on fresh and pickled chilies, smoked meats and sour notes instead of numbing peppercorn. Steamed fish head with chopped chili and Chairman Mao's red-braised pork are the signature dishes; "Hunan beef" on American menus is a chili-and-vegetable stir-fry inspired by the style. On this menu as: Hunan · Hunan Beef · Hunan Sliced Pork.
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: Mandarin & Szechuan · Szechuan Beef · Sichuan Style Squid.
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: Chicken Chow Mein.
Kung pao: Diced chicken (or shrimp, tofu) stir-fried with dried chilies, Sichuan peppercorns, scallion and peanuts in a sweet-sour-savory glaze. The Sichuan original is dark, tangy and numbing; the American-Chinese version tends to be sweeter, saucier and heavier on the vegetables. On this menu as: Kung Pao Chicken.
General Tso's chicken: Battered, deep-fried chicken chunks glazed in a sweet, tangy, mildly hot sauce with dried chilies and broccoli on the side. Created by Hunanese chefs in Taiwan and New York in the 1970s; the general it is named for never tasted it. On this menu as: General's Chicken.
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 Beef.
