A chicken and vegetable dish from Andy & Yu's Restaurant and Bar in Pleasanton.

Potstickers: Crescent-shaped dumplings (jiaozi) pan-fried on one side until crisp, then steamed in the same pan so the tops stay tender. Boiled versions of the same dumpling are usually listed as "boiled dumplings" or shui jiao; the fillings (pork and cabbage, pork and chive, shrimp, or vegetable) are the same. On this menu as: Pork Potstickers.
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: Wor Wonton Soup.
Chow mein: Stir-fried egg noodles. Cantonese-style versions crisp the noodles into a pancake and pour the stir-fry over them; the softer, tossed-together style is more common on American-Chinese menus. Either way the name means "fried noodles". On this menu as: Chow Mein.
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: Fried Rice.
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.
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 Beef.
