Paofan, literally submerged rice, is a Teochew dish popular in Singapore, with related versions found in Taiwan, Korea and Japan, where rice and seafood were staples for farmers during the harvest. It consists of rice soaked in a broth brewed from pork, fish bones and prawn, typically served with seafood, fried egg floss and crispy rice. Once the domain of restaurants, it is now also sold in low-cost establishments, and its popularity in Singapore rose in 2021 with the arrival of a premium lobster version.
