ravs ravs: / ravz/, Chinese ravs, n. [ primarily MIT/ Boston usage] Jiao- zi ( steamed or boiled) or Guo- tie ( 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 rav 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). “ Let' s get hot- and- sour soup and three orders of ravs.” See also oriental food.
