Arroz chaufa, also known as arroz de chaufa ("Chinese rice"), is a fried rice dish from Peru. It is part of the Chinese Peruvian cuisine, which is called chifa.[1][2]

Arroz chaufa consists of a mix of fried rice with vegetables, usually including scallions, eggs, and chicken, quickly cooked at high heat, often in a wok with soy sauce and oil.[1][3] It comes from the Chinese cuisine due to the influx of Chinese immigrants to Peru at the end of the 19th century.[4]

The meats typically used are usually pork, beef, chicken, and shrimp.[citation needed] Dark soy sauce is preferred for use with Peruvian fried rice.[citation needed] A person specialized in the art of making arroz chaufa is known as a chaufero.[5]

Etymology

The word "chaufa" comes from the Chinese word "chaofan" (Traditional Chinese: 炒飯, Simplified Chinese: 炒饭, Pinyin: chǎofàn, Cantonese: Cháau Faahn), literally “(stir) fried rice".[2]

Variations

A variation of arroz chaufa is the chaufa amazónico, a fried rice made with ingredients from the Amazon region in Peru. It typically includes cecina (a salted dried meat) and maduros (sweet plantains).

Besides rice, a common ingredient in most arroz chaufa is the cebollita china (spring onion, Allium fistulosum). It is also possible to adapt the recipe with other grains, like quinoa and wheat.[1] In some regions the rice is replaced with quinoa or pearled wheat while in others, rice is mixed with noodles.

The dish is accompanied by soy sauce and/or an ají-based cream.[5]

Besides this, many other ingredients may be found in the dish:[citation needed]

  • Arroz chaufa with chicken
  • Arroz chaufa with beef
  • Arroz chaufa with pork
  • Aeropuerto ("airport"): when the dish includes tallarín saltado, another chifa dish, on the same plate.[6]
  • Arroz chaufa "wild"
  • Arroz chaufa with duck
  • Arroz chaufa with jerky
  • Arroz chaufa with seafood
  • Arroz chaufa with fish
  • Arroz chaufa with alligator or lizard
  • Arroz chaufa "special"
  • Arroz chaufa "Taypa"
