Gaifan
/'ɡaɪfæn/
Gaifan, which translates as
'covered rice,' is a collective namefor a one-person meal consisting of a portion of rice (generally quite a large portion to fill you up throughout the day), and a serving of a meat or vegetable dish of your choice.
Oodles
of Noodles
Noodles are eaten for lunch throughout the country. Because of the different methods of preparation, differing geography and variety of ingredients, they come in different types throughout the country. In the north, people tend to eat wheat noodles, whereas southerners generally eat rice noodles.
Baozi and
jiaozi
Baozi and jiaozi are steamed stuffed buns and
steamed dumplings, which are mostly found in the North of the country, but popular throughout the country.
Malatang, literally translated as hot
spicy soup, is a popular lunch for Malatang people who like to eat spicy food (and doubles as a drunken street
snack for those living in China). You pick your food on skewers (vegetables, meats such as little sausages or meatballs, noodles, and tofu in all different shapes and sizes), and everything is boiled in a hot broth (this is where the soup comes in), then served with a serving of sesame sauce and chili (if you want more spice!).
Hot pot can be eaten for lunch Hot Pot or dinner, but is such a big part
of China's food culture (especially in China's colder provinces during the winter months) that it's worth a mention here too. Colleagues often spend lunch times huddled around a pot of spicy boiling broth (with the option to have it non-spicy, of course).
