Chow mein is a well known and liked dish. It became popular because of two basic ingredients noodles and stock were easily attainable .Noodles were the primary carbohydrate in the Chinese population. Stocks were made from chicken, pork bones and occasionally herbs that are simmered all day.
Pow is a small dumpling traditionally made with a pork filling, but these days the filling can be chicken, vegetable or something sweet
Wonton is a popular appetizer in most if not all the Chinese restaurants usually sold by the dozen, I prefer the shrimp wonton drizzled with soy sauce and ketchup.
Pot stickers are a favorite. I love the dipping sauces they use for some of the food. Soy sauce mixed with ginger or even sweet and sour sauce.
