The daughter looks like she's hearing that same story for the 1004th time.... XD
😂
lolllllllllllllll
LMAO
She's Like "here we go again"
She is...
In Cantonese there’s a slang term for side jobs “bei lou”, which actually means “Peru”. It shows how prevalent it was for people in the Cantonese-speaking community to work in Peru and other South American countries back in the late 1800s. We still use the term today after all these time.
Fascinating!! 🤓
I thought „bei lou“ in Cantonese means Northern Chinese. Like those in Winterfell.
@@edwardhochwand9063 *Lol* Similar sounding but different Chinese characters.
Very interresting.. regards from Lima-Peru.
Wow
Out of all the places I’ve traveled, Peruvian food was definitely up towards the top of my list. My mind was blown by how amazing the food was there.
As a Chinese American, I’m very moved by this video. Thank you Peru, for welcoming my cousins. As a Chinese immigrant, I feel like a lot of times we are very discriminated against and our ancestors were basically Asian slaves in the early days. But most of us worked hard, integrated into the local community, and become welcome members of our new adopted countries. Much love, and I look forward to visiting your beautiful country soon!
I’ve always mention how Peru Welcomed the Chinese and Japanese immigrants with open arms to the point that we had a Japanese President for about 10 years, I’m a proud Peruvian with Japanese Blood. I’m proud and always mention it even tho I’m 4th generation I’m still PROUD 🤘🏼🤘🏼.
jeffc168jb , much respect for Asians! Hard working people! Very smart!
You should definitely go to Perú my friend!
@@Kimmyyy1999 a dictator*
I am Malaysian Chinese and my wife is New Zealand Chinese. All our ancestors left south China in the 1800s due to famines and overpopulation. In New Zealand, the people were not very welcoming to them.
I always hear Americans talk about being "Asian American", but I wish they could also see that their identity as an Asian American is also very similar to Asian Australians, Asian New Zealanders, Asian Peruvian and all the other Asian Diaspora communities around the world.
@Pablo Yong, wow really? That is interesting.
Do Peruvians talk about issues affecting the indigenous communities? what about the Spanish descendants living in Peru?
By describing someone's ancestry, I'm not trying to create any tension or division. My perspective is to celebrate our differences. I don't know the situation in Peru, but from where I come from, I believe each group helps make us stronger and smarter. Peace.
Every peruvian have a friend that is called " el chino" o " la china".
no
@Alejandro PH no
También en mexico, pero no solo por poseer facciones asiáticas también a los que tienen pelo rizado les dicen así
@Alejandro PHajajajaja te está jodiendo XD
@@christidesson porque? Si los chinos no tienen el pelo rizado
As a Chinese-Singaporean who is curious about overseas Chinese food, Lima is now on my bucket list! Btw, i am a new subscriber. Great informative content!
Welcome to 🇵🇪, You will eat rico!!...
Respetamos a los chinos y asiaticos por su gran contribución al pais, ellos son peruanos y los queremos tanto que siempre en un grupo de amigos no falta el chino de la cuadra.
Jajaja es verdad
yo soy chino y nunca me han respetado
todos tenemos un amigo chino, negro, 'colorao', etc xDD
"nunca falta el chino de la cuadra" 😂😂
@@ramdomvids5008 partele su madre brother. No te dejes.
as a Peruvian I can confirm that lomo saltado is definetly one of our national dishes. but they way you cook it it's very unusual. eithery way, it seems it tastes delicious!
Brooo I was thinking the same wayyy 😭😂 im Peruvian Mexican and my moms the Mexican but she try’s to make lomo and all the dishes and her lomo is good for her being Mexican lol but ima tell her we should try this so we can see how it is but honestly the best lomo I’ve ever had was in Lima honestly nothing can compare to it
The lomo saltado presented here is the 'tourist' version I think. More flashy than usual. XD
in 58 years this is the first time that I hear lomo saltado es chino. De donde salio eso?
@@coolestson7547 part of the process of cooking lomo saltado is using a wok to stir fry the ingredients and using the flame of the fire to sear the meat.
@@bngr_bngr also soy sauce is a staple in Asian dishes. I am not sure if Naitve Peruvians use soy sauce, also as I am not aware of their traditional foods.
Wow, I'm Chinese, and even I don't know this part of the history! Thank you for finding out. You are doing us a great good!
Me neither.
@timothy chung thats not true. Ther are no evidence for those claims
I thought youtube didn't exist in China ?
Lomo Saltado was introduced to me by a Peruvian college of mine some years ago and it was a LOVE AT FIRST BITE!!!
I find it interesting in the pronunciation of certain Chinese word in Peruvian context. 1) Peruvian Chinese call themselves Tu Sheng (土生). In Chinese it means local born, which is quite common use in for Chinese descendant born and live overseas (southeast Asia and etc..) 2) Chao fan (炒饭) is Cantonese way of pronouncing fried rice. So base on that I guess the majority of Chinese are southern Chinese mostly Cantonese in dialect. But it is so interesting to see how language is adapted and evolved. Also the mixed of noodle and rice from leftover is not so commonly done in Asia. However, in southeast Asia, some of us would take the leftover and stirred fried it with sambal chili. Food transcends, culture, reglion, race and etc.. It adapts and adopts and grow. It is a pretty awesome lesson we can learn.
Marcus Ng also Chifa which sounds like “to eat” Siyao the soy sauce I don’t know that one in cantonese but sounds something like that and last but not least Quion which is the ginger.
A German showing how to cook the national dish of Peru 🇵🇪 a dish inspired by authentic Chinese food which is a fusion of Chinese food and South American Andean ingredients. Along the way we get a history of Chinese migration and integration in Peru.
Way to blow my mind.
and the German speaks english
Who’s the German?

„Anything that moves, the chinitos will eat“
A true Legend😂😂
That's how we Chinese people from other regions describe our fellow Cantonese, lol.
"anything that has two legs that isn't a human, anything that has four legs that isn't a table or chair, the cantonese will eat" A common joke used to make fun of cantonese people by people from other regions.
That is racism! We don't eat cars nor planes!
My mom used to tell me "Us Chinese will eat anything with a back that can face the sky"
but not something so gross like guinea pig which peru people eat
The lady's description of the "Corner Chinese" actually moved me a lot. Reminded me so much of the Chinese-American community and the Chinese expats from around the world. They are totally like that, long- persevering, hardworks in silence for their kids. Yeah, that sounds like so many people I know. Glad to know that they are so alike. 😥😊
Btw, keep up the good work Andong. I love your channel you wholesome fellow!
Anything for the family. Chinese here.
Originally from the Philippines, been in the states for decades now. But anyway, Phils claim to have the first/oldest Chinatown. Not sure it’s true, maybe, but gets to show how proud Filipinos are of Chinese integration into our culture. The Chinese are very resilient and hard workers, so much so that more than half of the 10 riches ppl in the Philippines all have Chinese heritage. Growing up we call Filipino Chinese “chinoy”. We celebrate Chinese ny, have a lot of beliefs after Chinese culture and of course most of our food is also a fusion of Chinese. Our famous “pancit” or noodles, as well as the lumpia, which in the Phils we refer to as “lumpiang Shanghai”, I’m sure both originated from China. We just took the credit, because we popularized them 🤣
"Corner Chinese" also happens here in Indonesia. Literally you can find small shops owned by Chinese people anywhere. They are really hard working and getting along really well with locals, especially among "peranakan Chinese" (that is Chinese person whose ancestors are married with locals). Heck they even speak regional languages like Javanese much better than locals.
Even though there's several ethnic tension between locals and Chinese descendant in the past. The Chinese are an integral part of our society, they practically assimilated with locals (to the point that they no longer able to speak Chinese anymore). Also their food also become a staple for Indonesians like nasi goreng, noodles and baso tahu that is a dish related to dimsum.
Chinese living in the US here, visited Peru last December, got wowed by the lomo santados, the ceviches, and of course the chifa places were nice change from the Panda Express I get in the states . Nice video andong, keep it up.
I’m Asian and my sister in law is Peruvian. 🤔. This video explains why she married my brother 😅. Thank you so much for this video. It was entertaining and informative PS. I never saw/knew Chinese people could speak Spanish. Muy bueno. Nice.
as the narrator said, some families migrated for generations (100+ years) and their descendants now can only speak Spanish and identify themselves as Peruvian. Many won't be able to speak any Chinese. But i guess that means they have really embraced Peru as their country.
When I used to live in NYC there was this Chianese restaurant the owner was Chianese Jamaican with a Jamaican accent spoke Spanish, Chianese (don't know which dialect) and Haitian Creole
who919 - I probably would have stared at him with a perplexed look on my face. 😅 Many of us are mixtures of different nationalities. Its all good in the end.
who919 ,Yes I believe you,I’m 5th generation Chinese Jamaican.I do have a little mixture in me. But the Chinese have been in Jamaica from the 1800s. True thing
Caroline Miller, True.not many people have such an open mind.We really are a mixture
Hey man much respect, I'm Puerto Rican and this is true, I love Peruvian food and with me not knowing the origin I believed the same till I learned about this.
Hi bro, only chifa is peruvian chinesse food. Chifa is only a little parte of peruvian gastronomy. Also we have Nikkei food, that is peruvian japanese food, and also, it's only a little part of peruvian gastronomy. The true peruvian gastronomy has uncontable dishes.prehispanic dishes, creole dishes, coaste dishes, andean dishes, amazonan dishes, Novo andean dishes, not only that, un Perú there are 25 regions, and every has a typical dishes, without chinesse ir japanese influence, only heritage from old peruvians.
Y bueno, hermano, espero pruebes tantos platos peruanos diferentes, y una acotación para este video, el lomo saltado tiene solo el salteado chino, todo lo demás son ingredientes peruanos que siempre se han usado. Sabías que Perú tiene más de 3 mil variedades de papa? Pues en Perú se la domesticó. El tomate también es de origen peruano, al igual que el pisco (aunque esté ya es un producto elaborado, y te recomiendo purebes el pisco sour, chilcano de maracuyá, cóctel de algarrobo a, que son a base de pisco). La cebolla y el vinagre lo trajeron los españoles, al igual que la res, pero el lomo saltado lo único chino es la forma de saltearlos al wok.
Saludos desde Lima, Perú 🇵🇪😁
I am from China. The first time when I went to Peru, I was surprised to know that lomo saltado sea un plato peruano. When I missed Chinese food, I just ordered lomo saltado.
Funny, I'm Peruvian and I studied in Germany. Every time I wanted to eat Lomo Saltado, I went to a Chinese restaurant close to the town where I lived. Yes, it was somewhat different, but good enough to kill the desire for Lomo Saltado
The peruvian food is the best, it's a mixture of flavors in one country.
Had some Peruvian food yday. It was good. Shout out to panka resturant
Peru is magnanimous & has acceptance. They label the food-influence as contribution to the country, rather than dismiss it quietly.
A mark of ex colonies it tends to be, our identity is our mixture, so we dont really hide it.
we will be forever thankfull with the chinese people and culture, they are our brothers, most of every peruvian loves chifa hahah
Pretty few countries in the world, even among the advanced democracies, can be proud of that...
THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. I am glad they are giving credit and actually label the influence as it shows respect. Unlike America that likes to steal from colored people's creativeness and pass it off as "American culture" so the creators are not given proper credit. it isn't hard to give credit. Makes you think if things like these are intentional.
@@Tzienzibarinzi Same with Philippines. A lot of our dishes have Chinese and indigenous roots and I thought that was really cool.
I live in Lima from Korea.
There're so many 'chifa' in peru.
they sell chinese peruvians food there.
do you mean chinese food in peru
@@steveboy7302 yes but it's not chinese type of fusion with peruvian
@@choislife1281 do native peruvians consider it part of there food
@@steveboy7302 Yes it is peruvian food... like all the peruvian food is fusion food.
The video doesnt explain that peru was the first port of south america, all the migration came basically to el callao in Lima. All the african food, the chineese food, the eruopean food, all of it in one place.
Lima have 3 restaurants in the top 10 beacuse of it.
@@OoWhiteStaroO so its african european asian but not native peruvian because only natives can create native peruvian cuisine
As a Chinese I am sure I will visit Peru someday after seeing this video!
You are welcome brother. I hope doing the same and visiting China.
You're welcome, Peru was the capital of the Spanish colony over 500 years and as the Chinese migration here are a lot of African, European descendants, so is a fusion of culture and of course food.
you have to go, one of the best gastronomic destinations in the world!
Yooo I'm Half(ish) Peruvian with a hint of Chinese, not to mention Lomo Saltado is my favorite dish of all time. This video, my I love this video. This truly speaks out, thank you!
it's so strange and beautiful at the same time to learn that we all have different history..and in the end.. food always bring us together..what a great video..and i have learnt a lot about Peru... not related to foods tho..there is one famous Peruvian Japanese scientist Marino Morikawa..his works are very inspire ... about Eco-friendly water treatment project
Lomo saltado is definitely the go to dish when it comes to Peruvian cuisine. Chinese food really makes a big influence in not only cuisine wise but culture for Peru. Chifa restaurants are what fascinates people to come to Peru and experience the beautifulness of our culture. I'm a proud Peruvian and I always grew up with Chinese culture being present within my childhood and as I got older, I've been fascinated with learning Mandarin and a little bit of Cantonese. Plus without a doubt, somewhere in your DNA, someone in your family is Chinese and you most likely don't even know it
Food: where culture and people meet. This was an amazing look at a little history and how that world history is food history. Thanks again for your uploads!
5th gen tusan here on an official mission to grant you the honorary title of "Causa", I know us peruvians will be like AAAAAAA with some of the ingredients or preparations in this recipe, but, it´s lomo a la Andong (I gotta say tho, for me it needs to look a tiny bit juicier), I know for me and many others here, the flavor of the meat juices, oil, vinegar and soy sauce is awesome, so much so that many order lomo saltado in smaller portions for breakfast, just the stir fry and ciabatta bread, and we dip the bread in the lomo juice
ohhh my mum used to do that!! i wake up with the smell of lomo saltado or pollo saltado in the morning... owww the memories
Cool video! I’m from Lima living in the US now and I actually remember back in the 90s when china town was gentrified ... by experience I noticed Lomo saltado is one of our most “foreigner friendly “ foods
Nice video! Fun fact: I live in Milan and some chinese take aways make lomo saltado
Some of the best Peruvian food I've had was in Italy.
For sure they are Peruvian, Milan has one of the biggest Peruvian communities in the world.
That's is a really cool video, so many things I didn't know about Peru. So strange to see someone from Chinese descent to speak Spanish.
I know what you mean. Seeing Japanese speak Portuguese in Brazil is even stranger to me.
Keith Masumoto I guess just seeing anyone speak a different language so fluently that you wouldn't expect them to speak is pretty strange, but not in a hateful way. More in a curious and amazing way c:
but they don't look like chinese anymore anyway. so, what's the strange thing about them speaking spanish?
why if chinese in america can speak english why it is strange for a chinese born in peru speak spanish.
Mate, I feel the same way when a black kid and a white kid in my hometown in china speak better Chinese than me... as their English teacher, I was constantly confused and disappointed with myself.
Ecuadorian here........ As much as I love food from Manabi here in Ecuador...... I feel that Peruvian food is a noch higher and truly in a class of its own...... It's that Asian fusion that is just so good
I fell in love with Peruvian cuisine when I was in Lima and nearly a month in Iquitos, which is a whole different story than what you find in Lima or in the Andes. Lima is a fusion kitchen heaven and it blew my mind. This episode was awesome.
Cualquier asiático en el Perú es un Chino y siempre es bienvenido y aceptado son Peruanos también 👍🏼
Y ahora la inmigración peruana hacía Chile nos ha traido Lomo Saltado, Ají de Gallina, Papas a la Huancaina, Causa Rellena y tantos otros sabores nuevos y deliciosos.
Bien por la fusión cultural!
candid moe Andong no sabe la historia del Lomo Saltado, no hay ni una prueba de lo que dice, el Lomo Saltado es un plato de fines de 1800 que deriva del bistec a la chorrillana, es un plato cien por ciento peruano. No tiene influencia china.
I am Taiwanese, happy to see you introduce fried rice and culture
Here we eat lot rice 🍚
WOW....THE PERUVIAN FOOD IS DELICIOUS..
IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD..
IS AMAZING
It's fascinating there's a sizable Chinese community in Peru considering how far they are, basically diagonal on earth. First time had Lomo Saltado in the States many years ago when I wasn't even aware of the existence of Chinese Peruvians, and it immediately reminded me of Chinese food.
Well there are like 5 million Asians all over the Latin America, not just Peru.
I am impressed with the Chinese folks who have settled the US, Canada, Central, and South America. They learned and assimilated into their community's culture and brought their culture for other people to enjoy. The Chinese immigrants have really learned their Spanish very well. The places I have been too around the world besides the US. Europe and Asia has had China Towns with the exception of the Middle East like Iraq. Kuwait has a small tiny community. Peru is very impressive with many other nationalities that came to that country. I found out the Japanese were very dominant. I was impressed with a Japanese tourist that came here to Las Vegas who couldn't speak English but spoke South American Spanish. His family for many generations lived in Peru. I have also understood Chinese folks from Peru come here to the US and blew me away with Spanish and English.
Thanks for the great food, culture and peoples video, Andong. I'm a Canadian-Chinese whose parents immigrated from China. I visited Peru a few years back with my family and we were amazed at how many chifas there were in Lima. Our tour guide told us it was the most popular restaurant type in Peru, as your Vanessa Yong confirmed. He also suggested that some 10% of Lima's 10M population were of Chinese descent. Equally fascinating is the similarities of Chinese immigration and cultural integration in many parts of the world. The observation that Peruvian Chinese worked on their railroad is a parallel to the establishment of Canada as a country connected from sea to sea by our railroad, one that was built in large part by a Chinese labour force (my grand uncle was one of them). I look forward to seeing more episodes, your movie and visiting Germany at some time. Cheers. Norm
Actually is true, between 9~10% of Peruvian Population has Chinese Roots, because there were thousands and thousands of Chinese people who came to Peru. The majority of them were extremely poor people but by the time they knew how get the chance to develop in a country which was not ours. Today, many of grandsons and grand-grand-sons of Chinese imigrants have became important figures in Cultural, Sport, Political and Artistic aspects for Peru. For example, the biggest franquicie of Supermarkets WONG, was funded by a Wong family, etc. Other story is about Japanese migration, even Peru had a NIkkei(Jap-Peruvian) as President of the country in 90s. China and Japanese, and Asia in general, gave many important things culturally to Peru and we are thanked by that. Greetings from Lima!
I'm half peruvian. Lomo Saltado (though I usually go for the pollo, or vegetarian now) is one of my favorite foods in the world! Still haven't found one that beats mom's or abuelita's though.
gotta cook this for my Spanish/gambian family.
we are rly open-minded for new food and its actually a motivation to see someone from Germany with foreign roots being so dedicated to food from all over the world.
grüße aus Hannover
Wow... I'm from Macau and I am kinda stunned when I watched this video and knowing that Macau had a role related to the Chinese Peruvian history.
This channel is a gem, you can not only learn how to make delicious & authentic (Chinese )food but also the intriguing history behind it, that’s precious! Love it! keep up the great work!
谢谢安东，看好你，加油💪
One thing I find so delightful about this video is here is a man of Chinese descent living in Peru, speaking Spanish, in a Russian German man's video to English speaking viewers. Ahh, you gotta love the internet! :D
Wow, even as a Chinese-Filipino in America, it is so strange for me to hear a Chinese person speaking Spanish like that. It's so interesting how the cultures blend like this, one day I need to try this type of food xD.
I’m a German-Canadian so
Lomo Saltado is my favorite! So is Aji de Gallina.
Amazing work. Really shows the dedication you put into your videos. Hope you get more exposure in the near future.
First of all, just found you and you’re super underrated!! Second, planning a Peruvian series in the next couple of weeks and here you are releasing THIS!!!!! Freakin AMAZING man, props to you!!!!! Very INSPIRING!!!!!!
It's good food! My best friend is Peruvian and introduced me to this dish
A true eye opener (part II) of Chinese gastronomical influence over and cultural integration into the Peruvian society. Thank you very much~ and the background music is totally spot on!
I''ve been intrigued about the chinese influence on peruvian cuisine. thank you for sharing such a great video!
As a descendant from Chinese in Peru, I'm so proud of my roots, I was born in Peru but I have a lot of influency of China culture in my house.
Growing up in Panama and being ethnic Chinese, there are a lot of similarities between the Chinese Panamanians and Chinese Peruvians both being an integral part of their countries, culture and communities. Here in Panama, lots of local people would have dim sum for breakfast during weekends and at least 4% of the population are ethnically Chinese.
Congrats on breaking 100,000 subscribers! So glad to see how fast your channel is growing and you deserve all the appreciation.
I was in Shanghai, China & I noticed that Chinese food looks like Peru's National Dish.
Admiro mucho a Fernando de Trazegnies, soy estudiante de Derecho y sus libros no han faltado en mi paso por la universidad, uno que me gustó mucho es La Responsabilidad Extracontractual. Me sorprendió mucho verlo en este video !
I was in Lima last week and had chifa. . . was super good. Very simular, yet very different to types of American styles of Chinese food. The dish with the chicken, peppers, pineapple and peaches was awesome. I looked up chifa in the SF bay area and there was some sad remake place. . . . guess I'll have to go back to Peru to get more. Peruvians know what's up with food. . . they got good taste with everything else. Not too big with the cuy though, lol.
Holy crap! Didn't expect to learn so much from what I thought was a food and vlogging channel!
Обязательно попробую рецепт :)
Wait, what? The Lomo Saltado that I love so much as delivered from our local Mexican delivery place is really a Peruvian dish with Chinese roots? Mind ==> blown.
Peruvian / Japanese, foodie and amateur cook here, I usually roam around trolling peruvian food videos because the history behind it isn't well described or well shown in the video, but God damn this video is on point in history and in preparation. really, Big thumbs up for you hopefully in your stay in Lima you learned there's is a history behind Peruvian food and japanese traditions and will make a video about it. Anyhow keep it up great videos very informative and well explained like no other I've seen, will sub for sure
I love how dedicated you are to every subject you discuss and every dish that you prepare. It's not only about the delicius food you prepare but how incredibly informative your channel is. I really love it.😃👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What an amazing insight into Peruvian/Chinese history. Fantastic work, man.
I know that in Berlin in Aqui España they sell aji amarillo paste, maybe there you can find the pepper too
Andong, you're a scholar and a gentleman! This was such an interesting and informative video. Your channel scratches two of my biggest itches, history/culture, and cuisine.
You're the only TH-camr I ever felt I had to be a Patron of. If I can ever pledge more, I will.
Keep up the good work. 🤙
I'm been waiting for this!
Great video bro! I live in Peru (with my esposa Peruana) and I appreciate your work. It was very informative, but now I have to go out for some Lomo Saltado...;
Me being from Puerto Rico , I actually didn’t know that Peru and China had this connection!
I found your channel literally yesterday and I am loving it!!
The combination of food and the history is just awesome!!!💯🔥❤️
Peru has a long history of multiculturalism that goes back at least 450 years.
*Our first 200 years were merely influenced by Spain and Austria and our national dance "Peruvian Waltz" and Polka reflect the germanic influence (Viceroyalty of Peru, during the ruling of the Habsburgs), followed by Spain and France (during the ruling of the Borbons)
*During the mid-1600's, African slaves were brought to our sugarcane and cotton plantations.
*During the French Revolution the best chefs from France fled to Peru to cook for the Peruvian aristocracy.
*We have the 2nd. Largest Japanese colony overseas, Brazil has the largest one.
*At the beginning of the 1800's, Chinese workers were brought to build the railroads along the Peruvian coast and sections of the highlands.
*During the early - mid 1800's Austrians and Germans came to populate Oxapampa, in the Central Andes. We have a German-Tyrolean town, called Pozuzo (next to the jungle) where everything is written in German and the traditions still today are kept alive.
*In the early 1800's English families immigrated to Peru and got established in Piura, Huancayo and Arequipa.
*Other European minorities (French, Dutch, Polish, Hungarians, Croacians, Greeks, Danish, Norwegians, Swedish...), immigrated during the early 1800's as well. Italians, the largest group, got established at El Callao, and later, as they became more prosperous, moved to the old Lima (centre-ville)
*In 1879 we went through a war "The War of The South Pacific". We were defeated by Chile and we had to import "men and families of immigrants" to overcome the consequences of the war.
*In the 1940's 28 Families of the Holocaust were received and got established in Lima.
The immigration-emmigration continues. We also immigrated masively towards the end of the 1960's, during the militar dictatorship, in the 80's during the time of terrorism of the "Shining Path and Tupac Amarus", in the 2000's during the dictatorship of Fujimori, adding blends to our multiculturalism.
We are a blend of Native American, Spanish, Germanics, French......and all these reflects on the features of our faces, the colours of our skin, the colours of our dresses, the sounds of our music, the flavors of our food.
I’ve been watching your channel for some time now and love your vids. As a half Peruvian it is great to learn about the Chinese culture their and how it grew with food. Thanks for the vid and keep up the good work! 👍
Buen trabajo!
As a tusan i love this video, viva el chifa ❤️
Soy peruano y me encanto este video porque se preocuparon en buscar expertos en historia de la cocina peruana y tambien la historia de los chinos migrantes al Peru en los años 1840, videos asi hacen que este canal se distinga de los demas ya que promueven la historia veridica de nuestros lazos con la cultura china en la gastronomia. Cabe decir que no solamente con la cultura China, en realidad el Peru es un pais de todas las razas nuestra comida tiene influencia de casi todos los lugares del mundo incluyendo comida japonesa, italiana o hasta musulmana por ejemplo y estamos orgullosos de tener un poco de todo el mundo aqui mezclada con nuestra cultura milenaria que fue la de los Incas. Solo los peruanos y los visitantes que aman nuestro pais saben de lo que les hablo.
No te olvides de la comida Andina y Selvatica, etc
Thank you for sharing, Andong. What a stunning work you have done!
Andong i love the mix of research/interviews with the cooking...more plz
Chifa hörte wie CHIFAN--吃饭, essen , faszinierend
Thank you, Andong! Your videos are so good, just needed to tell you I appreciate the work you put into these. At my local Peruvian resto in Chicago, the lomo saltado comes with the fries/papas stir fried together into the dish. So yummy!
I went to his chifa when I was living to Lima, Peru. I miss the peruvian food
The national dish of Peru is CEVICHE, Lomo Saltado is one of the most popular
we have a lot of Chinese-like dishes here in panama too
aji Amarillo is wonderful. I wish it were sold in my city.

How many languages in only one video, I feel like: What's pasando en this video? 荒诞!
Yes! Finally the continuation of the Chifa series. It was great, thank you. I think the exploitation of Chinese people for manual labor is still happening in Japan. They are brought in through internship programs where they are supposed to be taught skills that can help them get better jobs, but they just end up being forced into low skilled manual labor jobs with low pay.

Actually the Peruvian National dish is Ceviche, lomo saltado is on the list (along with dishes like papa a la huancaina, anticuchos, causa, aji de gallina etc) but ceviche is the national dish by excellence.
Amazing production!

i can see my fella loves peruvian food, damn bro we've got one thing in common.
I just found your channel! It’s so good! Excellent recipes! I’m currently binge watching your videos.
So you say that Lomo Saltado is not found anywhere in China. But get this: I am Vietnamese, which was once a suzerainty of China, and I grew up on a potato, beef, onion, tomato stir fry that was eaten with rice. We did not have the chili that is essential to Peruvian Lomo Saltado but it's 90% similar. When I first had Lomo Saltado in my 20's, I was transported back to my mother's kitchen. We had this every week. Every Vietnamese has this as a home dish. It's not in the restaurants. But it is part of the home cook repertoire.
Guys, I'm an English teacher, and I'm Peruvian, so this video excites me a lot! Can I just share your videos with my class?
Fascinating! A similar thing happened in the US. The end of slave labor in America after 1864 saw decades of administrators scrambling to figure out a way to replace all that labor. It's what caused the rise in prison labor and the Jim Crow laws that targeted non-whites. It's why a century later in 1964, we had to have the Civil Rights Movement.
It's still a problem. 25% of the world's prisoners are here on US soil or in some foreign detention center right now. That explains why so many nonviolent cannabis offenders are still locked up even though half the nation is enjoying it recreationally, they just can't afford to let go all those cheap laborers. It's a tragedy.
Strong work. Very educational and great insights!
