You know how they say partners end up speaking similarly to each other from spending so much time together? This gave me big Sohla energy and I'm here for it ❤❤❤❤ pls keep bringing both of them back, they're fantastic❤
Agree x 10! So much so that I almost bought the re-chargeable solar frig cooler thingy from the pop up Ad that accompanies the youtube! I needed a 2nd mortgage to do so, but, hey, I would be ready for the coming Nuclear War! I am making a bunch of Fried Rice to have on hand. and ready to store in my Solar Frig! Happy Cooking!
This looks delicious! The name 'arroz chaufa' kinda rang some bells for me so I did a quick google. . . "chau fan" is the most basic way to say "fried rice" in Cantonese. So the immigrant-driven culture mix that created arroz chaufa really just took words from both languages and smushed them together! Absolutely delightful!
Most Chinese immigrants were Cantonese in Peru, it has deeply impacted our culture. We also say “kion” to say ginger which is directly influenced by Chinese, other countries in Latin America use the proper word “jengibre” from Spanish.
i thought that exact same thing! the homophonic use of "chau fan" ("cau" would be a closer approximation TBH) for the cantonese pronounciation is almost the same as the mandarin version "chao fan", makes me wonder about the origins of the chinese disapora in peru.
just went down the wikipedia rabbit hole of chifa cuisine (and peruvian cuisine in general) - i can't believe i was so ignorant on this topic, really fascinating!
It’s not necessarily a D-backs hat. It’s Clementine’s hat from The Walking Dead videogame. Though the creators never specified which team actually it is from.
Indeed, and this is the big WHY about Peruvian-Chinese fusion had been working for decades( over a century now )...Cantonese were the ones that migrated to Peru and brought their customes and traditions to this South American country.
I would have added the sesame oil at the very end (heat destroys the fragrance) and added the garlic much later since it can get burned easily in such a hot pan. But otherwise, I wouldn’t have done anything different. Cumin and bell peppers sound like an interesting add…must try!
I'm going ham for Ham, baby. Speaking of...we need more eps of that show where they build a menu around one wacky ingredient (I forget the name atm). It's one of my favorites!
That looks really good and I like that the instructions are straight-forward. I can already predict that if I made this at home, the second those dry spices hit the ripping hot pot it would be game over lol
Really enjoyed this one! Ham is terrific. He knows what he's doing and has a great personality. Even more fun when Sohla is involved, their chemistry is real. But I have a feeling Sohla is busy with more important things these days 😊. This looks to me to be the best fried rice I've ever seen and I am sold on the cast iron pan. I gotta try it! Thanks Ham and NYT Cooking.
Great tips, Sam! Especially about opening up the windows and using a cast iron skillet versus a wok! Maybe include the disclaimer that eggs will stick to smoking hot cast iron unless the cast iron is thoroughly seasoned, IMO! This is NOT the recipe to try on your new, out of the box, cast iron skillet! Happy Cooking, Sam, and thanks for sharing this recipe. Kudos, as usual, to your great crew, especially the camera guys and gals!
Growing up poor and many times we did not have much food to make from scratch, we made Chinese rice and it was not much different than this, only made with leftovers and some fresh veggies.
Can I just mention real quick that all these RUclips videos where the chef teaches everyone to heat their wok to ripping hot temperatures that they need to be aware of the smoke point of cooking oil. I almost burned down my parents kitchen when I added the wrong cooking oil (olive) to my wok as a kid.
Always fascinating to see how widespread Chinese cuisine is thanks to immigration. I'm a fan of the induction woks myself as I find them easier to wrangle than a cast iron skillet
@@Patricia-cn7ox Interesting. We must have gone to different Chifas ;0 I've had (hundreds of?) Chaufas over the years and don't recall having red bell pepper in them. Either way, it doesn't matter. It's just fried rice, so you can put in whatever you want.
My mom adds pork instead of oil. She also adds shrimp. I’ve eaten at several Peruvian restaurants in the US and in Peru but never had Chaufa with red peppers.
This recipe involves a lot of pan manipulation which may not be possible with a heavy cast iron skillet. A better choice may be a light weight carbon steel pan.
Cumin for sure. Definitely gives it a more South American flair. The bell pepper too. Chinese fried rice typically doesn’t include “wet” ingredients as they’ll make things mushy. But the technique used here in browning everything separately bypasses that problem.

Partners?
@@larrydanadavid2435 yes, Sohla and him are married!
@@mariapaularubianoa.6890 oh husband and wife okay
Here for the Ham content! Please continue to bring him back!

I think he definitely has a camera presence that I enjoy....I enjoy his explanations too and anecdotes
love the generous use of "Wow" by both Ham and Sohla

In the Dominican Republic we call it Chofán. It was one of my favorite dishes that my grandmother would make for me
I’m Peruvian and I approve this message 100%. 🔥🔥🔥 #ArrocitoChaufa
I like how Ham explains things. I've been cooking for a long time but I learned some things today.
I am so here for the Ham content. Also here for the Sohla content. Especially here for the Sohla+Ham content tho!!
just went down the wikipedia rabbit hole of chifa cuisine (and peruvian cuisine in general) - i can't believe i was so ignorant on this topic, really fascinating!
Thats why we have such nice cuisine! Japanese and chinese immigrants😍
I dont know what I love most: the El-Waylly energy, the recipe, or the D-backs hat!
It’s not necessarily a D-backs hat. It’s Clementine’s hat from The Walking Dead videogame. Though the creators never specified which team actually it is from.
@@otterdonnelly9959 someone else recognized! Clem
I was totally hooked after the "do you want him to do intro again?" line
bout time yall showed ham some love!!!! YUMMY RECIPE
I love watching Ham’s videos SO much! He’s so authentic and sincere.
Ham is the best - love his videos! He cooks delicious food and I always learn so much!
Terrific! Ham is excellent and the tip about cast iron actually being better for home stir frying than a wok…seems so logical and right.
You should also check out Kenji Alt-Lopez' fried rice video. He gave out three methods to get that wok hei in a home setting
i love peruvian chinese and peruvian japanese food.
Ham is truly wonderful. I love how he moves in the kitchen (a real chef) and his knowledge of food. More, please!
New Ham content is one of the few instances we will stop and watch. ❤
Ham makes every Cantonese g'ma and aunty proud. He does a proper stir fry

This reminds me so much of some of the first fried rice recipes I ever made, so cool to know that Peru was doing this too!
That looks absolutely delicious! Thank you for enlightening us about Peruvian cuisine. You've captured its essence perfectly!
I feel so validated, I always make fried rice in a cast iron. Also for reheating thai leftovers to get more char.
Finally a video that kinda shows how long chopping the ingredients takes.
Awesome. We love Arroz Chaufa as well. Thanks for the recipe
That looks really good and I like that the instructions are straight-forward. I can already predict that if I made this at home, the second those dry spices hit the ripping hot pot it would be game over lol
This is one of my favorite dishes! Definitely making this recipe.

I love those chauferias in Lima 😍 best taste ever. Best food had was in Peru!
I just did this. Amazing!!!! Thank you!
32-33 millions of peruvian fellas had to like Hams chaufa if they had watched it...and the same amount like peruvian mgs Ajinomoto. Kudos
Ajinomoto is the best! But Oriental Wok Fried Rice Seasoning is also delicious. It’s better than soy sauce.

Typo alert! I meant Ham and not Sam! Very sorry, Ham! (BTW, Ham also works great in this stir-fry! LOL!)
We love you Ham
Please do more videos like the New York cab drivers food
Growing up poor and many times we did not have much food to make from scratch, we made Chinese rice and it was not much different than this, only made with leftovers and some fresh veggies.
Looks super yummy 😋🤤 definitely appreciate it ❤️💯
Loving all this latin american recipes from Ham
Ham's the Man.
Oh, beautiful! So much makes more sense this way, too--and you know we love some HAM TIME
Peruvian aproved. Looks delicious.
I should have watched this before I bought my wok… looks way, way better than my attempts to fried rice so far.
Good food is so easy people pay crazy $$ for that yummy goodness. U won another hit👏
yes to Ham!!!
Love the intro. Love Ham. One note would/could I take the plate off of my gas burner to get that wok breath?
6:18 MSG is King of Flavor! Fuiyoh!!!
Can I just mention real quick that all these RUclips videos where the chef teaches everyone to heat their wok to ripping hot temperatures that they need to be aware of the smoke point of cooking oil. I almost burned down my parents kitchen when I added the wrong cooking oil (olive) to my wok as a kid.
Buenisimo el chaufa, Señor Ham!!!!
Ham is great. More please
LET'S GOO HAM, GREAT RECIPE!!
Always fascinating to see how widespread Chinese cuisine is thanks to immigration. I'm a fan of the induction woks myself as I find them easier to wrangle than a cast iron skillet
I love Ham but when it’s with Sohla it’s fire🔥🔥🔥🔥. You can’t deny their chemistry
Awesome recipe!
Looks delicious!
An excellent job 👏
I also do stir fries in a cast iron pan, as per Budget Eats, June Xie. The big takeaway for me, is cleaning out the pan after each ingredient...
Love Chef Ham!
WE STAN HAM
This looks delicious
I love Ham!
as a Chinese Peruvian this is fire
I agree that have a large flat pan is better than a wok for home cooking
This was so fun! 😁
love ham!!!!
Can’t wait to try this
Nice music choices today
Excellent lesson. I can't use the MSG because it triggers migraine for me, but everything else looks incredibly yummy.
Although I've never seen (red/green) bell pepper used in a Chaufa here in Peru, that's a damn good-looking home version.
It’s not that uncommon, I’m Peruvian and I’ve had tons of chaufas with red bell pepper. My mom also puts it in her homemade version.
@@Patricia-cn7ox Interesting. We must have gone to different Chifas ;0 I've had (hundreds of?) Chaufas over the years and don't recall having red bell pepper in them. Either way, it doesn't matter. It's just fried rice, so you can put in whatever you want.
I think it's more homemade-style. Usually, 'Chifas' don't include red pepper in their chaufa, but many Peruvians add it when they cook at home.
@@HaciaAsia true. They also add hotdog
I'd love to see @mrnigelng go over this Latinamerican version of fried rice
#MSG Yes!!!!!
you guys gotta get a better video/sound editor, 3:30 is terrible
I will try 😊
I love Sohla, and Sohla loves Ham, therefore I love Ham. But even without Sohla, Ham is the man.
I'm still trying to figure out if he's really a professional paraglider... haha
Yess more ham content!!
#HereForHam should be an official hashtag!
omg Ham! Yes!!!
My mom adds pork instead of oil. She also adds shrimp. I’ve eaten at several Peruvian restaurants in the US and in Peru but never had Chaufa with red peppers.
I think it’s more homemade-style. Usually “Chifas” don’t include red pepper in their chaufa, but many Peruvian add it when they cook at home
@@HaciaAsia my family in Peru must be anti red peppers. The best Peruvian restaurants are anti red peppers.
red peppers are used in the japanese fried rice, and it gives an spectacular flavour.
@@reytxatan8077 this is supposed to be Peruvian food not Japanese.
Great video Clementine
Chaufa is the rice, Chifa is the hybrid of peruvian-chinese dishes.
The intro!
F*** that looks so delicious. Making immediately!
wow
Sorry but, didn’t the garlic get burnt?
Made it - family loved it - one mod - started with bacon which gave the fat to cook everything else in.
Missed opportunity to call it Ham fried rice, because Ham fried this rice.
Ham! Ham! Ham! Ham 🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️
Finally a good guide to cast iron fried rice
why is this so much more echo-y than other videos
What about using a paella pan?
I think the difference between Peruvian and Chinese versions is that the Chinese use more rice.
Nice
This recipe involves a lot of pan manipulation which may not be possible with a heavy cast iron skillet. A better choice may be a light weight carbon steel pan.
New Years Eve 1980 - I made this rice.
I will use a cast iron! Thanks!
i need uncle roger to cook with sohla and ham
You do NOT add sesame oil to heat. That's a massive no no.
❤❤❤
How is this different from a regular fried rice? What’s the Peruvian bit?
Cumin for sure. Definitely gives it a more South American flair. The bell pepper too. Chinese fried rice typically doesn’t include “wet” ingredients as they’ll make things mushy. But the technique used here in browning everything separately bypasses that problem.
Amateur pro wrestler? Ham you training for an aew debut?
very nice!
Why did the music in the vegetable chopping section sound like it was signaling "ok hold on everyone a big huge fuck up is about to happen"
