Lomo saltado is a fusion dish with influences from both Peru and China. The stir-fried beef, onions, tomatoes, and potatoes are a nod to Chinese wok cooking, while the use of aji amarillo peppers and other Peruvian ingredients adds a unique twist.

Lomo saltado is a classic Peruvian dish with a blend of influences, primarily from Peru and China. It originates from Peru's *chifa* cuisine, which combines traditional Peruvian ingredients with Chinese cooking techniques, brought over by Chinese immigrants in the 19th century. The dish features stir-fried beef, onions, tomatoes, and spices, served with rice and fries, reflecting both Andean and Chinese culinary traditions.
