Lomo saltado is the emblematic dish of Peruvian chifa cooking — the unique fusion of Chinese culinary tradition with Lima's creole cuisine. Strips of beef tenderloin are stir-fried over high heat with tomato wedges, red onion, ají amarillo, soy sauce, and a splash of vinegar, then served over white rice and french fries. A screaming-hot wok is essential for that characteristic sear.

Classic Peruvian ceviche is the signature dish of Peruvian cuisine: fresh corvina or sea bass cut into cubes and cured for just a few minutes in lime juice, ají amarillo chilli, thinly sliced red onion, fresh cilantro, and salt. The lime acid cold-cooks the fish through a process called denaturation — no heat required. It is served with toasted corn (cancha) and sweet potato, and is recognised as Peru's National Cultural Heritage dish.
