Lomo Saltado · Lima
Lomo saltado is the canonical chifa dish: beef strips stir-fried in a wok with red onion, tomato, aji amarillo and soy sauce, served with French fries and white rice.
Lomo saltado emerged from the 1849-1874 Chinese contract-labour wave that settled around Calle Capon in Lima's Barrio Chino. Cantonese wok technique met Peruvian aji and the Spanish-introduced beef and tomato; the French fries arrived in the 20th century. Now the most-ordered Peruvian dish nationwide.
