Dishes to know on this menu

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: Fried Rice · Beef Jalapeño Fried Rice · Ancient Secret BBQ Pork Fried Rice.
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: Wonton Soup · Chinatown Wonton Ramen.
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 Cauliflower Wings · Kung Pao Chicken.
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: Veggie Spring Roll · Canton Spring Roll Shrimp.
Char siu: Cantonese barbecued pork: strips of shoulder or belly marinated in hoisin, honey, soy and five-spice, roasted until the edges char and lacquer red. Sliced over rice, folded into buns, or hung in the window with roast duck and soy chicken. On this menu as: Ancient Secret BBQ Pork Fried Rice.
Bok choy: A mild, crunchy-stemmed Chinese cabbage. Baby and Shanghai bok choy are cooked whole or halved: stir-fried with garlic, blanched under mushrooms, or tucked into noodle soups. On this menu as: Sautéed Bok Choy.
