Chef Maribel shines a light on Chifa—a unique culinary tradition that fuses Chinese cooking techniques and native Peruvian ingredients. Marinated chicken thighs are golden-seared, then tossed with springy chow mein noodles, crisp sugar snap peas, earthy mushrooms, and crunchy cabbage. The sauce—soy, ginger, garlic, and sesame—gets its eye-catching glow from aji amarillo, a yellow chile prized in Peru for its gentle heat and fruity warmth.
