Easy Peruvian Cuisine: Tallarin Saltado – Stir-Fried Noodles

Tallarín Saltado is a Peruvian stir-fry dish that uses local South American ingredients combined with Asian influences. It’s a typical fusion food taking the best of Peruvian food and, in this case, Chinese food, or "Chifa". Tallarín (pronounced Tay-areen) Saltado is one recipe that shows how the cultures that came together in Peru ingeniously mixed their cuisines to arrive at a dish that is greater than the sum of its parts. The Chinese exported noodles first to other Asian countries and then immigrants brought their signature ingredients to Peru. This is how Peruvian stir-fried noodles were created.
