Chifa is a popular culinary tradition in Peru that blends Chinese and Peruvian flavors. It originated in the late 19th century when Chinese immigrants brought their cooking techniques and ingredients to the region. Dishes often feature rice, noodles, and a variety of meats and vegetables, seasoned with local spices. Common chifa dishes include arroz chaufa, a fried rice dish, and pollo a la brasa, which is marinated roasted chicken. Chifa restaurants can be found throughout Lima and other cities, offering a unique dining experience that reflects the fusion of cultures in Peru.
