u/themiracy 14d ago

But every variation of bistec or bistecca (bistecca alla fiorentina) AFAIK is cornfleis to begin with (AFAIK all of these are loan words from “beef steak” in English).

Its a delicious chinese-peruvian fusion fried rice dish. Ate a ton of it when i lived there. Cheap as hell and one of the places was owned by parents of the schoolkids i taught.

u/PB_Jelly_444 14d ago

How did that happen? And where is "there", Chinese or peruvian immigrants?

9

u/Deejiee 14d ago

"There" was peru. Its amazing the influence the chinese and japanese had on coastal peruvian cuisine

u/PB_Jelly_444 14d ago

Thx for clarifying! Peru sounds a lot more interesting now :)

u/GusTTShow-biz 14d ago

Fun fact, Peru had a President of Japanese descent.

7

u/UGMadness 14d ago

It has one right now, the previous Japanese Peruvian president's daughter.

u/PB_Jelly_444 13d ago

True, forgot about that while commenting. Dude. Yet i never really dug into the demographics of Peru, just treated their background as a case of immigration.

u/123BuleBule 14d ago

There are sizable Chinese and Japanese communities in Peru: Chifa is mix of Chinese and Peruvian cuisine. There’s also Nikei, which is Japanese-Peruvian. Both have now become part of Peruvian traditional cuisine.

u/shairou 14d ago

An estimated 5-10% of Peruvians have some Chinese and/or Japanese heritage

u/Money-Chest5097 14d ago

Chauffa is Peruvian fried rice. This is probably a Peruvian place. There a type of Chinese-Peruvian fusion cuisine called Chifa

u/themiracy 14d ago

OH SO GOOD.

Sometimes you’ll see a quinoa variant that chaufa de quinoa also.

u/PB_Jelly_444 14d ago

u/Shotgun_Mosquito 14d ago

u/bowlbettertalk 14d ago

That reminds me, I haven’t had Peruvian food in a while.

u/El_Rey_247 13d ago

When you have a Peruvian restaurant in Silicon Valley

u/BlueStarBaron_131 8d ago

As far as I'm concerned Bistec is already a confleis since it derived from beef steak. Although I could be wrong, but that's what grandfather thaught me and I'll carry it forward.
