Love love love this recipe from Peru. It's part Latin flavors part Chinese flavors. If you can't find ajis amarillos chili peppers, try substituting ancho or even just green bell, if you like things mild.

Ingredients

1 lb mushroom, sliced thick
1 lb marinated tofu
3 tablespoons oil
1 red onion, thinly sliced
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
2 -3 ajis amarillos chili peppers (Peruvian peppers) or 2 -3 other chili peppers, seeded and cut into strips

Prepare the French fries and rice and keep hot.
Cut the tofu into strips about 2 inches long and 1/4 inch thick. Cut the mushrooms into biggish pieces. Saute in hot oil the tofu & the mushrooms together for about 3 minutes. Set aside.
Add more oil to the pot or wok if needed and return it to high heat. Add the onion, peppers and garlic and stir fry until the onion is cooked through, but still a little crunchy, 2 to 3 minutes.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package frozen French fries
vegetable oil as needed
1 pound beef tri tip, sliced 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick
salt and pepper to taste
1 large onion, sliced into strips
3 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and sliced into strips
1 yellow chili pepper (preferably Peruvian aji amarillo)
¼ cup distilled white vinegar
1 dash soy sauce to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

Prepare the bag of French fries according to package directions.
While the French fries are cooking, heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Season the sliced meat with salt and pepper to taste. Fry the meat until just cooked, and the juices begin to release. Remove the meat from the frying pan, then cook the onions, with additional oil if needed, until they are transparent. Stir in the tomato and aji amarillo; cook until the tomato softens. Pour in the vinegar and soy sauce, add the French fries, cover, and cook until the beef is done, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with chopped parsley to serve.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much food to the pan at once, it will steam instead of fry.
Cook the potatoes and carrots until they are tender-crisp: You want them to be cooked through but still have a little bit of crunch.
Add the tofu last: This will help prevent it from becoming overcooked.
Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings this dish together. Make sure to use one that you enjoy.
Serve immediately: Huevo saltado is best served fresh and hot.

Conclusion:

Vegetarian huevo saltado is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy vegetarian meal, give this recipe a try!
