A little Peruvian secret, toast a teaspoon of garlick paste before adding the rice, then cook the rice like you did on step 1 so when you add the salt and water it has a toasty garlicky flavor to it, it makes a huge difference and we love it here.

I’m from Argentina and love our dishes, but peruvian food is another level .

Me agrada ver como el plato más simple de hacer en Perú es una delicia inigualable para el paladar estadounidense

As a Peruvian, we add garlic to the rice! It makes it better, believe me. Great video! Lomo Saltado is my favorite.

[javiervalverde]

As a Peruvian I’m so proud you did our national dish. This is my absolute favorite meal and I miss my mom’s cooking so very much. Thanks for the memories. ❤

This is a staple in my house. Thank god for a Peruvian wife. Life hack though. Crispy fried egg on top over medium. The sauce that gets made with that yolk is perfection.

I used to cook professionally and have lived in Peru for six years. I´ve had Lomo Saltado over a hundred times in various restaurants, and I'd say you got it pretty much right. Thanks for making me hungry...

My coworker is from Peru, she took me out on Peruvian Independence day and this is what I ate. No rice though but the French fries soak up the juices and it's delicious

Peru has GREAT FOOD! One of my favorties (I lived there about 3 months and will visit again) was called PAPAS HUANCAINA. I love South America and every country is very different. Just like many mistake the US as one country, we are 50 different countries basically in an organization like the EU. Salute to any Peruvians out there

[ivonneguerinoni]

Nothing better than Peruvian food 🇵🇪✌️

[Dianne_Singer]

Lomo Saltado, one of our best peruvian dishes! Thank you so much for sharing one from our hundreds traditional dishes!

Rice is so versatile! I learned how South Americans cook rice, which is similar to what you did. In Panama, and other countries (mostly in the islands) we cook it differently but the result is the same, sort of. We toast the rice on oil, butter or a combination of both, and sometimes we add fresh garlic at that point, then we add water until it boils, and when it does we cover it and lower the the heat to the lowest setting until the water evaporates. I LOVE lomo saltado! I don't have a fryolator so I buy steak fries from a restaurant and do everything else at home ;)

Lomo saltado y ceviche con leche de tigre! Nothing better, long live the Peruvian cuisine! Much love from Panama.

What a delicious dish!....Believe me folks, peruvian flavors are unbelieable!

[flparrotz]

Had a Peruvian boyfriend years ago who got me hooked on this dish. Now years later i have to go to the local Peruvian restaurant to get this dish. I can't seem to make it like he did! Great show Chef! I will give you method a try!
