  • Lomo Saltado is a Chifa classic and the national dish of Peru - but it has Chinese roots. This is the story behind the first Chinese-Peruvian Chifa dish.

    In Cantonese there’s a slang term for side jobs “bei lou”, which actually means “Peru”. It shows how prevalent it was for people in the Cantonese-speaking community to work in Peru and other South American countries back in the late 1800s. We still use the term today after all these time.

    As a Chinese American, I’m very moved by this video. Thank you Peru, for welcoming my cousins. As a Chinese immigrant, I feel like a lot of times we are very discriminated against and our ancestors were basically Asian slaves in the early days. But most of us worked hard, integrated into the local community, and become welcome members of our new adopted countries. Much love, and I look forward to visiting your beautiful country soon!

      I am Malaysian Chinese and my wife is New Zealand Chinese. All our ancestors left south China in the 1800s due to famines and overpopulation. In New Zealand, the people were not very welcoming to them.
      I always hear Americans talk about being "Asian American", but I wish they could also see that their identity as an Asian American is also very similar to Asian Australians, Asian New Zealanders, Asian Peruvian and all the other Asian Diaspora communities around the world.

      By describing someone's ancestry, I'm not trying to create any tension or division. My perspective is to celebrate our differences. I don't know the situation in Peru, but from where I come from, I believe each group helps make us stronger and smarter. Peace.

      Hi bro, only chifa is peruvian chinesse food. Chifa is only a little parte of peruvian gastronomy. Also we have Nikkei food, that is peruvian japanese food, and also, it's only a little part of peruvian gastronomy. The true peruvian gastronomy has uncontable dishes.prehispanic dishes, creole dishes, coaste dishes, andean dishes, amazonan dishes, Novo andean dishes, not only that, un Perú there are 25 regions, and every has a typical dishes, without chinesse ir japanese influence, only heritage from old peruvians.
      Y bueno, hermano, espero pruebes tantos platos peruanos diferentes, y una acotación para este video, el lomo saltado tiene solo el salteado chino, todo lo demás son ingredientes peruanos que siempre se han usado. Sabías que Perú tiene más de 3 mil variedades de papa? Pues en Perú se la domesticó. El tomate también es de origen peruano, al igual que el pisco (aunque esté ya es un producto elaborado, y te recomiendo purebes el pisco sour, chilcano de maracuyá, cóctel de algarrobo a, que son a base de pisco). La cebolla y el vinagre lo trajeron los españoles, al igual que la res, pero el lomo saltado lo único chino es la forma de saltearlos al wok.

      Originally from the Philippines, been in the states for decades now. But anyway, Phils claim to have the first/oldest Chinatown. Not sure it’s true, maybe, but gets to show how proud Filipinos are of Chinese integration into our culture. The Chinese are very resilient and hard workers, so much so that more than half of the 10 riches ppl in the Philippines all have Chinese heritage. Growing up we call Filipino Chinese “chinoy”. We celebrate Chinese ny, have a lot of beliefs after Chinese culture and of course most of our food is also a fusion of Chinese. Our famous “pancit” or noodles, as well as the lumpia, which in the Phils we refer to as “lumpiang Shanghai”, I’m sure both originated from China. We just took the credit, because we popularized them 🤣

      "Corner Chinese" also happens here in Indonesia. Literally you can find small shops owned by Chinese people anywhere. They are really hard working and getting along really well with locals, especially among "peranakan Chinese" (that is Chinese person whose ancestors are married with locals). Heck they even speak regional languages like Javanese much better than locals.
      Even though there's several ethnic tension between locals and Chinese descendant in the past. The Chinese are an integral part of our society, they practically assimilated with locals (to the point that they no longer able to speak Chinese anymore). Also their food also become a staple for Indonesians like nasi goreng, noodles and baso tahu that is a dish related to dimsum.

  • @marcusng8246

    I find it interesting in the pronunciation of certain Chinese word in Peruvian context. 1) Peruvian Chinese call themselves Tu Sheng (土生). In Chinese it means local born, which is quite common use in for Chinese descendant born and live overseas (southeast Asia and etc..) 2) Chao fan (炒饭) is Cantonese way of pronouncing fried rice. So base on that I guess the majority of Chinese are southern Chinese mostly Cantonese in dialect. But it is so interesting to see how language is adapted and evolved. Also the mixed of noodle and rice from leftover is not so commonly done in Asia. However, in southeast Asia, some of us would take the leftover and stirred fried it with sambal chili. Food transcends, culture, reglion, race and etc.. It adapts and adopts and grow. It is a pretty awesome lesson we can learn.

    Lomo saltado is definitely the go to dish when it comes to Peruvian cuisine. Chinese food really makes a big influence in not only cuisine wise but culture for Peru. Chifa restaurants are what fascinates people to come to Peru and experience the beautifulness of our culture. I'm a proud Peruvian and I always grew up with Chinese culture being present within my childhood and as I got older, I've been fascinated with learning Mandarin and a little bit of Cantonese.

    Ecuadorian here........ As much as I love food from Manabi here in Ecuador...... I feel that Peruvian food is a noch higher and truly in a class of its own...... It's that Asian fusion that is just so good

    It's fascinating there's a sizable Chinese community in Peru considering how far they are, basically diagonal on earth. First time had Lomo Saltado in the States many years ago when I wasn't even aware of the existence of Chinese Peruvians, and it immediately reminded me of Chinese food.

    I'm half peruvian. Lomo Saltado (though I usually go for the pollo, or vegetarian now) is one of my favorite foods in the world! Still haven't found one that beats mom's or abuelita's though.

    I am impressed with the Chinese folks who have settled the US, Canada, Central, and South America. They learned and assimilated into their community's culture and brought their culture for other people to enjoy. The Chinese immigrants have really learned their Spanish very well. The places I have been too around the world besides the US. Europe and Asia has had China Towns with the exception of the Middle East like Iraq. Kuwait has a small tiny community. Peru is very impressive with many other nationalities that came to that country. I found out the Japanese were very dominant. I was impressed with a Japanese tourist that came here to Las Vegas who couldn't speak English but spoke South American Spanish. His family for many generations lived in Peru. I have also understood Chinese folks from Peru come here to the US and blew me away with Spanish and English.

    Thanks for the great food, culture and peoples video, Andong. I'm a Canadian-Chinese whose parents immigrated from China. I visited Peru a few years back with my family and we were amazed at how many chifas there were in Lima. Our tour guide told us it was the most popular restaurant type in Peru, as your Vanessa Yong confirmed. He also suggested that some 10% of Lima's 10M population were of Chinese descent. Equally fascinating is the similarities of Chinese immigration and cultural integration in many parts of the world. The observation that Peruvian Chinese worked on their railroad is a parallel to the establishment of Canada as a country connected from sea to sea by our railroad, one that was built in large part by a Chinese labour force (my grand uncle was one of them). I look forward to seeing more episodes, your movie and visiting Germany at some time. Cheers. Norm

    • @TakittyLove
      @TakittyLove Před 4 lety +3

      Actually is true, between 9~10% of Peruvian Population has Chinese Roots, because there were thousands and thousands of Chinese people who came to Peru. The majority of them were extremely poor people but by the time they knew how get the chance to develop in a country which was not ours. Today, many of grandsons and grand-grand-sons of Chinese imigrants have became important figures in Cultural, Sport, Political and Artistic aspects for Peru. For example, the biggest franquicie of Supermarkets WONG, was funded by a Wong family, etc. Other story is about Japanese migration, even Peru had a NIkkei(Jap-Peruvian) as President of the country in 90s. China and Japanese, and Asia in general, gave many important things culturally to Peru and we are thanked by that. Greetings from Lima!

      @lilylima6481 Před 4 lety +2

      candid moe Andong no sabe la historia del Lomo Saltado, no hay ni una prueba de lo que dice, el Lomo Saltado es un plato de fines de 1800 que deriva del bistec a la chorrillana, es un plato cien por ciento peruano. No tiene influencia china.

    Growing up in Panama and being ethnic Chinese, there are a lot of similarities between the Chinese Panamanians and Chinese Peruvians both being an integral part of their countries, culture and communities. Here in Panama, lots of local people would have dim sum for breakfast during weekends and at least 4% of the population are ethnically Chinese.

Anyhow keep it up great videos very informative and well explained like no other I've seen, will sub for sure

    I was in Lima last week and had chifa. . . was super good. Very simular, yet very different to types of American styles of Chinese food. The dish with the chicken, peppers, pineapple and peaches was awesome. I looked up chifa in the SF bay area and there was some sad remake place. . . . guess I'll have to go back to Peru to get more. Peruvians know what's up with food. . . they got good taste with everything else. Not too big with the cuy though, lol.

    Soy peruano y me encanto este video porque se preocuparon en buscar expertos en historia de la cocina peruana y tambien la historia de los chinos migrantes al Peru en los años 1840, videos asi hacen que este canal se distinga de los demas ya que promueven la historia veridica de nuestros lazos con la cultura china en la gastronomia. Cabe decir que no solamente con la cultura China, en realidad el Peru es un pais de todas las razas nuestra comida tiene influencia de casi todos los lugares del mundo incluyendo comida japonesa, italiana o hasta musulmana por ejemplo y estamos orgullosos de tener un poco de todo el mundo aqui mezclada con nuestra cultura milenaria que fue la de los Incas. Solo los peruanos y los visitantes que aman nuestro pais saben de lo que les hablo.
