Gaifan
Gaifan or gaijiaofan is a type of dish in Chinese cuisine, typically offered in low-cost establishments. It consists of serving fish, meat, vegetables over a plate or bowl of rice. The dish can be either freshly cooked or previously cooked, such as char siu. According to the Commentary to the Classic of Rites, the history of gaifan can be dated back to Western Zhou. Throughout the Tang Dynasty, gaifan was served during the banquets of newly promoted officials.
