Peru’s Asian Infusion: Influences from China and Japan
For recipes, visit www.ciaprochef.com/wca/peru/
The multicultural stew that is modern Peru gets much of its spice from two waves of immigration-the Chinese in the mid-19th century, and the Japanese at the turn of the 20th century. These two immigrant groups have put down roots, and their descendants are fully integrated into Peruvian life. But at the table and in markets, such as Lima’s Central Market, the Asian impact is hard to miss.

We Peruvian have received many foreigners gently by 2 centuries of history. We don't segragate, we ASSIMILATE everybody, that's why our Peruvian cuisine and people have a little bit from everybody and everywhere. Greetings from Lima, Perú :) 🇵🇪

Peru is a nation of immigrants. Wtf? They're not foreigners-- they're Peruvian of Chinese descent. Peru was originally inhabited by Indigenous tribes- then came the flow of immigrants, colonizers, etc

Not exactly. The Japanese (and probably Chinese too) were resented for their success at certain points and massively discriminated against. Your rosy picture doesn't reflect reality.

Finding out that lomo saltado was made by a Chinese immigrant is incredible. All the more power to Asians in South America!

Lomo saltado is 100% Peruvian dish. It has nothing from China. The original recipe was published the year 1900, and shows that it was always a Lima dish, without any Chinese influence. Lomo saltado is essentially beef, yellow pepper, purple onion, tomato and potatoes, none of those ingredients together is popular in Chinese cuisine, the yellow pepper is Peruvian, the tomato and potatoes are Peruvian, the purple onion is not It is used in the chifa, it is a fallacy that is said to have Chinese origin, even the word SALTADO is by the French word sautée which it means "saltar" in spanish. Lomo saltado flambé is also a French technique, it didn't exist in Chinese cuisine.

Taiwan wasn’t even a thing until after the Chinese civil war in the 1950s. It was all just Chinese before then so “Taiwanese” influence would have been limited if any. It would probably be grouped as Chinese food anyways since it’s so similar.

The truth is most Spaniards who came to the Philippines are from Andalucia, Basque Region, and Madrid. Greeks from Malta, as well as Italians from Sardinia, arrived with them; then French from Gibraltar and Camargue migrated to the Philippines too and the Portuguese settled in many provinces too. These people started to call themselves “FILIPINOS.” They wanted to break away from the power of the KING OF SPAIN. Only those “Castilians, Argentinians and Mexicans are loyal to the king during that time.” They studied and learned all the native dialects in the country; they mixed the Spanish creoles “Ermiteño and Basque Caviteño” with the local dialects and created the “TAGALA” known as TAGALOG. The Native locals of the country were called “ INDIOS.” They thought they were similar with the Incans, Aztecs, and Pacific Islanders.” Governor Narciso Claveria not only imposed the Spanish Names but FORCE ALL OF THESE EUROPEANS TO INTERMMARY WITH THE LOCALS. NOLI ME TANGERE explains that the “MODERN FILIPINOS are a mixture of EUROPEANS, LATINOS, AND ASIANS.”

@@sikusuyu The goal of a narration in a video is not of pronouncing correctly any word, but to be able to give information about how the word is written in the language they are speaking to the viewer, in order for the viewer to search later further information about it. So it's ok that he pronounces it with the english vowel system. It helps the purpose of the video of enticing the non-peruvian viewer to know more about the issue being talked about.
