Chofan, also known as Chinese fried rice, is a flavorful dish that blends rice with vegetables, proteins, and seasonings. Originating from Chinese cuisine, it has been adapted in various cultures, including Latin America, where it’s especially popular in countries like Peru and Ecuador. Common ingredients include cooked rice, scrambled eggs, peas, carrots, scallions, soy sauce, and a protein such as chicken, shrimp, or beef. It is often stir-fried in a small amount of oil to combine and heat the flavors. Chofan can be a nutritious option, providing carbohydrates from rice, protein from meat or eggs, and vitamins from vegetables. Using brown rice and cutting back on oil can make it a healthier choice. However, traditional recipes are sometimes high in sodium due to soy sauce and may include added fats. Moderation and mindful preparation are key to enjoying it as part of a balanced diet.
