You can use any kind of crab, or even dip lump crabmeat in the sauces.

The squid in this entrée is tender and picks up the flavors it's cooked with.

These classic pleated Chinese dumplings are delicious either steamed or fried. When fried, they're called "pot stickers." Though the dough is easy to make, if you're short on time you can use premade round gyoza wrappers (also called dumpling or pot sticker wrappers) instead. Look for them in Asian markets and the refrigerated section of many grocery stores.
