The vegan chaufan rice, my favorite food

Hello everyone, today I am going to talk about my favorite food, vegan chaufa rice, also known as Chinese rice or chaufan rice. This mixture of fried rice, vegetables, seasonings and soy meat is a really delicious meal, it is truly a meal worthy of gods.

The original recipe comes from Peru (like everything rich in this world), and its history is not boring at all, it all comes from the cultural exchange between Peruvians and Chinese. After Peru's independence, there was a boom of emigrants, and the number of Chinese grew exponentially. At the end of the 19th century there were more than 2,500,000 Chinese in the country, these new inhabitants of Peru were supposed to be free, but they were practically reduced to slave labor. It is in this context where the famous recipe was born, since the only payment they received in the haciendas of their employers was a plate of rice, using their ingenuity and the products brought from their territory they created a spectacular dish, receiving the name of chaufan rice from the Cantonese word chaofan which means fried rice.

The dish is simple to prepare, requiring only cooked rice, soy meat, meat spice, onion, bell bell pepper, soy sauce and the key element ginger. The first step is to stir-fry the chopped spring onion with the bell pepper and ginger until they are cooked, then add the meat and finish stir-frying everything. Finally add the rice and the soy sauce until the rice takes that characteristic color. It can be served with salad, but it is very good on its own, feeling all the flavors in your mouth.

I don't really know the nutritional impact on my health, but as I see it this food is very balanced, it contains no saturated fats (I think) and is a good carbohydrate contribution, however, maybe you can say that it contains a lot of salt thanks to the soy sauce, but if you don't add more salt I think it would be fine.

It's something like this (it doesn't look as nice on me ;( but probably better XD)
