📖 The Story Behind This Dish

A defining chifa dish born when the Chinese immigrant technique of fast, high-heat wok-frying met Peruvian ingredients — potato, tomato, chili. Tossing french fries right into the stir-fry is a distinctly Peruvian idea, and this dish is often called the face of Peruvian cuisine.

🌆 Where it's eaten: Served with rice, found on the menu of nearly every eatery in Peru.
