The Origins of Lomo Saltado
Historical Background
Lomo Saltado, a beloved Peruvian stir-fry, has its roots deeply planted in the bustling streets of Lima, specifically in the historic Barrio Chino. This area, known for its rich blend of cultures, gave birth to many fusion dishes that have become staples in Peruvian cuisine.
Cultural Fusion
The unique combination of flavors in Lomo Saltado is a result of Peru’s multicultural influences. The dish is a shining example of Chifa cuisine, which merges Peruvian ingredients with Chinese cooking techniques brought over by Cantonese immigrants in the 19th century. This blend of traditions created a dish that is both comforting and exotic.
