Arroz Chaufa is not your average fried rice. It is Peruvian-style fried rice featuring chicken, peppers, onions, eggs, rice, soy sauce, sesame oil, and many other tasty ingredients.
Arroz Chaufa is steeped in Chinese tradition. After slavery was abolished in Peru during the 19th century, plantation owners and managers in the Guano industry needed cheap labor.
When it comes to fried rice, rice that has been rinsed thoroughly before cooking and chilled in the refrigerator for at least 10 hours or overnight works well.
You can easily store the Peruvian Fried Rice in the fridge or freezer. If you’re looking to refrigerate the rice, put it in an airtight container and store up to 4 days.
