Appetizers 前菜

Menu items and prices are approximate and may have changed — call the restaurant to confirm.

Potstickers: Crescent-shaped dumplings (jiaozi) pan-fried on one side until crisp, then steamed in the same pan so the tops stay tender. Boiled versions of the same dumpling are usually listed as "boiled dumplings" or shui jiao; the fillings (pork and cabbage, pork and chive, shrimp, or vegetable) are the same. On this menu as: Fried Dumplings.
Egg roll: A fried cylinder of cabbage, pork or shrimp in a thick, blistered wheat wrapper: the American egg roll. Spring rolls are the slimmer Cantonese original with a thin, smooth, shatteringly crisp skin; fresh (unfried) spring rolls are Vietnamese, not Chinese. On this menu as: Spring Roll.
Hot and sour soup: A thick soup sharpened with black vinegar and white pepper, with shredded tofu, wood-ear mushroom, bamboo shoot, egg ribbons and pork. The "hot" is pepper heat, not chili; the "sour" is vinegar. Sichuan in origin, universal on American menus. On this menu as: Hot & Sour Cucumber.
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: Crispy Tofu Bite.
