Szechuan-style (American menus): The older Wade-Giles spelling of Sichuan. On American-Chinese menus "Szechuan beef" or "Szechuan chicken" signals a spicy garlic-chili sauce with vegetables; on a Sichuan restaurant's menu the same word means the real thing, so expect Sichuan peppercorn and real heat. On this menu as: Sichuan Style Pork Bun · Sichuan Spicy Cold Noodle · Sichuan Spicy Noodle Soup with Fish Fillet.
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: Sichuan Style Pork Bun.
Twice-cooked pork: Pork belly simmered whole, sliced thin, then stir-fried until the edges curl and crisp with leeks or cabbage, fermented bean paste and sweet bean sauce. A Sichuan home-cooking classic: rich, salty and only moderately spicy. On this menu as: Sichuan Twice Cooked Pork.
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 Noodle Soup with Pork.
