General Tso fan myself. Good read. I think I will get some American Chinese food for dinner tonight.
General Tso Tsung-t’ang, who served the Ch’ing Dynasty and was instrumental in putting down the Taiping Rebellion (1851-64) one of the bloodiest wars in history, never would have dreamed that a dish would be named after him long after his death in 1885.
“...think I will get some American Chinese food for dinner tonight.”
“check local listings” for a Chinese restaurant that specializes in Peruvian style Chinese cuisine; “Chifa:”. Better still, find a Peruvian restaurant! You’ll find a number of mainstays such as Lomo Saltado (stir-fried beef strips), fried rice (arroz chaufa) and arguably empanadas (won-ton wraps) are a few Peruvian adaptations of Chinese mainstays. During eastward migrations, a sizeable number of Chinese settled in Peru. Using ingredients brought along or adapting recipes to local ingredients a new category of Chinese cuisine came about; “Chifa”.
Even without that addition, Peruvian cuisine is of world class potential.
