Étapes

Marinate the chicken

Mix the diced chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce in a bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes. Use this time to chop everything else and have it ready by the stove, since fried rice cooks fast.

300 g chicken thighs
1 tbsp soy sauce

✅ C'est prêt quand : chicken pieces look evenly coated and slightly glossy with soy sauce

⏱10:00

Make the egg omelette

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok over high heat, pour in the beaten eggs and swirl into a thin layer. Cook for about 1 minute until just set, then slide onto a board and cut into thin strips.

3 eggs
1 tbsp vegetable oil

✅ C'est prêt quand : eggs are set with no runny parts left

History & Culture

The Story Behind the Dish

📍 Lima📅 Late 19th century🍚 PE

Arroz chaufa (from the Cantonese chao fan, 'fried rice') arrived with the Chinese workers who came to Peru from 1849. In Lima's Barrio Chino, chifa restaurants adapted their cooking to Peruvian ingredients, and chaufa became the most popular dish of all.

Today it's sold in every chifa in the country and made at home as the classic way to use up leftover rice.
