Dishes to know on this menu

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: Soup 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: Wontons in Chili Oil.
Mapo tofu: Soft tofu in a glossy red sauce of fermented broad-bean paste (doubanjiang), chili and ground Sichuan peppercorn, traditionally with a little minced beef or pork. The name honors the pockmarked (ma) old woman (po) said to have invented it in Chengdu; a vegetarian version is common. On this menu as: Mapo Tofu.
Chongqing chicken: Bite-sized fried chicken buried in a mound of dried red chilies and Sichuan peppercorn. The chilies are for aroma, not eating, so pick through them for the crisp, numbing-hot chicken. On this menu as: Chongqing-Style Spicy Chicken.
Beef noodle soup: Two great versions: Lanzhou-style, a clear beef broth over hand-pulled noodles with radish, chili oil and cilantro; and Taiwanese-style, a dark, soy-and-spice-braised broth with chunks of tendon-rich shank and pickled mustard greens. On this menu as: Beef Noodle Soup.
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.
