Lomo saltado
Strips of beef stir-fried in a wok with onion, tomato, soy and vinegar, served with chips and rice.
What makes it lomo saltado
- Beef, onion and tomato tossed fast over a very hot flame.
- Soy sauce and vinegar in the pan.
- Chips and white rice, both.
Where it comes from
It's the plainest proof of chifa: a Chinese stir-fry made with Peruvian beef, ají and potatoes. It comes to the table with both chips and rice — two starches on one plate, which says a lot about how the two kitchens met.
How it varies
- Pollo saltado
- Chicken instead of beef.
- Tallarín saltado
- The same toss with noodles instead of chips.
