Arroz Chaufa (Peruvian Fried Rice)

Full recipe in The Ultimate Peruvian Classics ↓

Arroz chaufa is Peru’s take on fried rice, born in the Chinese-Peruvian kitchen we call chifa.

Wok-tossed rice, egg, green onions and soy sauce come together in minutes, which is why it’s a weeknight favorite in so many Peruvian homes.
