Dan dan noodles: A Sichuan street dish: wheat noodles under a sauce of chili oil, Sichuan peppercorn, sesame paste and preserved vegetable, topped with crumbled fried pork and stirred together at the table. Numbing, nutty and savory rather than simply hot. On this menu as: Dandan Noodles.
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: Schmaltz Fried Rice.
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.
Peking duck: Beijing's showpiece: a whole duck air-dried and roasted until the skin is glass-crisp, carved at the table and wrapped in thin pancakes with scallion, cucumber and sweet bean sauce. Usually ordered ahead and priced whole or half. Cantonese roast duck is a different, marinated bird served chopped over rice. On this menu as: Peking Duck.
General Tso's chicken: Battered, deep-fried chicken chunks glazed in a sweet, tangy, mildly hot sauce with dried chilies and broccoli on the side. Created by Hunanese chefs in Taiwan and New York in the 1970s; the general it is named for never tasted it. On this menu as: General Tso's Cauliflower.
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 Pork Dumplings.
