Bao: Soft, slightly sweet steamed yeast buns. Filled versions (baozi) hold barbecued pork (char siu bao), vegetables, custard or red bean; baked char siu bao has a glossy golden crust instead. Unfilled folded buns (gua bao, "lotus leaf buns") come with braised pork belly or Peking duck to stuff at the table. On this menu as: Dumplings & Bao · Pork Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) · Crab & Pork Xiao Long Bao.
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: Pork Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) · Crab & Pork Xiao Long Bao.
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: Wontons in Chili Oil.
Chili oil / chili crisp: Oil infused with toasted chili flakes and often star anise, cinnamon and Sichuan peppercorn. Chili crisp keeps the crunchy fried flakes and garlic in the jar. It dresses cold noodles, wontons and dumplings, and sits on most Sichuan tables. On this menu as: Wontons in Chili Oil.
