Dishes to know on this menu

Clay pot rice: Rice cooked to order in an individual earthenware pot with Chinese sausage, chicken, mushrooms or salted fish laid on top, finished with sweet soy. The prize is the crisp, toasted layer of rice that forms against the pot. On this menu as: Hot Clay Pot · Meatball Clay Pot · Lamb Clay Pot.
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 · Kung Pao Beef · Kung Pao Shrimp.
Moo shu: A northern Chinese stir-fry of shredded pork (or chicken, vegetables), scrambled egg, wood-ear mushroom and cabbage, brought to the table with thin wheat pancakes and hoisin to roll it up yourself. On this menu as: Beijing Mu Shu Pork · Mu Shu Pork · Vegetable Mu Shu.
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: Combination Chow Fun · Chow Fun with Beef.
Salt-and-pepper: A Cantonese fry technique: squid, shrimp, pork chops or tofu dusted in starch, deep-fried, then tossed in a hot wok with salt, white pepper, garlic, scallion and sliced fresh chili. Light, crisp and only mildly hot. On this menu as: Salt & Pepper Fried Pork Ribs · Salt & Pepper Fried Fish Fillet.
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 Chicken · Mongolian Beef.
