Dishes to know on this menu

Dim sum: The Cantonese tradition of small steamed, fried and baked plates (dumplings, buns, rice rolls, ribs) eaten with tea, traditionally as a brunch running from early morning to mid-afternoon. Plates of three or four pieces are shared family-style, so a table can try a wide range; many restaurants serve them from carts, and now also at dinner and for takeout. On this menu as: Dim Sum & Noodles.
Har gow: Steamed shrimp dumplings in a thin wrapper that turns translucent as it cooks, pleated around whole or chopped shrimp. Said to be the dish a dim sum chef's skill is judged on: the skin should be thin enough to see through but strong enough to lift with chopsticks without tearing. On this menu as: Har Gow.
Siu mai: Open-topped steamed dumplings: a thin yellow or white wrapper gathered around a pork-and-shrimp filling, usually finished with a dot of crab roe, diced carrot or a single pea. With har gow, one of the classics of Cantonese dim sum. On this menu as: Steamed Siu Mai.
Xiao long bao: Shanghai-style "soup dumplings": a thin pleated wrapper around seasoned pork and a cube of gelatinized stock that melts into hot broth as it steams. Eat them from a spoon: bite a corner, sip the soup, then finish the dumpling with a little black vinegar and ginger. On this menu as: Juicy Pork Dumplings.
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: Spicy Wontons.
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: HK-Style Chow Fun.
