Lomo Saltado
Peruvian-Chinese stir-fry of beef, tomatoes, and onions with soy sauce, served over fries and rice simultaneously.
Why It Works
Chifa cuisine merges wok hei technique with Peruvian aji peppers; cooking at screaming-high heat in small batches ensures searing rather than steaming, and the fries absorb the sauce.
