Arroz Chaufa In the nineteenth century, the first Chinese immigrants came to Peru. Specifically, the 15 October 1849 they arrived on our shores 75 Chinese workers hired to work in the coastal haciendas. They were called coolies. Six years later, in 1855, many of them had completed their work contracts began to cluster in the center of Lima Street Billinghurst, half a block from Calle Capon, and the now famous Chinatown emerged and gradually begin to know Peruvian cuisine prodigious Chinese (specifically Cantonese) and there arose a fusion Peruvian cuisine which is now part of our food culture. Peruvians then call Cantonese Chinese cuisine as Chifa restaurant and today we know that name not only Chinese food but also the places where are sold. So, when we covet enjoy a dish of Chinese cuisine we say we eat a chifita?Or else what if we go to the Chinese restaurant?”. And is that who does not like a duck to Peking, pollo tipakay, a chicken chijaukay, a sopa fuchifú, Noodles jumped a, among many other delicious dishes and desserts of this honorable oriental cuisine?. Unfortunately for ordinary Peruvians chifa preparation requires specialized skills that are unique to Chinese immigrants and their descendants, so if we want to taste a dish of the kitchen did not feel able to prepare at home and we need to go to any of the thousands of chifas that exist in our country. Fortunately there are a few other dishes that can be prepared at home, the most frequent saltado noodle and rice chaufa. In this recipe, we address the chaufa, its a combo of fried rice and fried meat. Precisely on rice chaufa circulating an anecdote relates that under Mao a senior Communist China visited our country and that the authorities wanted to honor him in turn led him aa eat Chinese food on the street Capon, I went to a Chinese restaurant and served them rice chaufa was the complete satisfaction of the visitor. After the banquet the Chinese official went out in praise for the rice chaufa noting that it was a very delicious Peruvian dish. What had happened?, chaufa because the rice is a dish of Chinese cuisine but a creation of resident Chinese cooks in Peru. That is, the fried rice was born what we might call the Peruvian-Chinese cuisine.
