Lomo saltado is a dish which originated as part of the chifa tradition, the Chinese cuisine of Peru, though its popularity has made it part of the mainstream culture.[1]
Chifa is a Chinese Peruvian culinary tradition based on Cantonese elements fused with traditional Peruvian ingredients and traditions. The term is also used to refer to restaurants that serve the chifa cuisine.[2][3]
Though originating in Peru, the chifa tradition has spread to neighboring countries like Ecuador,[4] Chile,[5] and Bolivia through increased Chinese immigration.
Chinese-Peruvian food has become one of the most popular types of food in Peru.[citation needed] The first Chinese-Peruvian fusion restaurants were opened in Lima in around 1920 in Lima's Chinatown (Barrio Chino). There are thousands of chifa restaurants across all districts of Lima and many more throughout other cities of Peru, with sometimes multiple independent restaurants operating in close proximity on a single city block.[citation needed]
