|
||
(pan-fried). A Chinese appetizer, known variously in the plural as
|
||
dumplings, pot stickers (the literal translation of guo-tie), and (around
|
||
Boston) ‘Peking Ravioli’. The term <span class="firstterm">rav</span> is short for ‘ravioli’, and
|
||
among hackers always means the Chinese kind rather than the Italian kind.
|
||
Both consist of a filling in a pasta shell, but the Chinese kind includes
|
||
no cheese, uses a thinner pasta, has a pork-vegetable filling (good ones
|
||
include Chinese chives), and is cooked differently, either by steaming or
|
||
frying. A rav or dumpling can be cooked any way, but a potsticker is
|
||
always the pan-fried kind (so called because it sticks to the frying pot
|
||
and has to be scraped off). “<span class="quote">Let's get hot-and-sour soup and three
