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: Xiao Long Bao (8) · Crab & Pork Soup Dumplings (8).
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: Xiao Long Bao (8) · Sheng Jian Bao (6).
Har gow: Steamed shrimp dumplings with a translucent, chewy wheat-starch skin pleated around whole or chopped shrimp. The classic test of a dim sum kitchen: the wrapper should be thin enough to see the pink through it but strong enough to lift with chopsticks without tearing. On this menu as: Har Gow (4).
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: Potstickers (10).
Scallion pancake: A flaky, layered unleavened flatbread laminated with oil and chopped scallions, pan-fried until crisp and cut into wedges. Northern Chinese and Taiwanese in origin; some kitchens wrap one around sliced beef and hoisin as a "beef roll". On this menu as: Green Onion Pancake.
Egg roll: A fried cylinder of cabbage, pork or shrimp in a thick, blistered wheat wrapper: the American egg roll. Spring rolls are the slimmer Cantonese original with a thin, smooth, shatteringly crisp skin; fresh (unfried) spring rolls are Vietnamese, not Chinese. On this menu as: Chicken Eggrolls.
