Los pasos básicos para hacer un pollo saltado:
1.- Ten listos los ingredientes. Los filetes de pollo salpimientados y si deseas, con un poquito de ajo picado.
2.- Pon la sartén sobre el fuego más alto posible hasta que comience a humear. En este momento añade el aceite.
4.- Agrega el ajo y la cebolla, revolviendo constantemente hasta que el cpollo esté dorado y la cebolla cocida pero todavía crocante.
5.- Incorpora el vinagre y la salsa de soya.
6.- Finalmente se agregan los tomates y el culantro, el ají, sal y pimienta.
- 1 lb. de filetes de pollo
- Sal y pimienta
- 2 dientes de ajo picados
- 3 cucharadas de aceite vegetal
- 1 cebolla roja mediana, cortada en cuñas gruesas
- 2 tomates cortados en cuñas gruesas
- 1 ají amarillo sin venas ni semillas, cortado en tiras (o una cucharada de ají en pasta o cualquier otro ají)
- 3 cucharadas de salsa de soya
- 3 cucharadas de vinagre de vino tinto
- ½ taza de culantro picado
- 2 tazas de papas fritas
- Arroz blanco graneado
- Sazona el pollo con sal y pimienta. En este momento también puedes frotarlo con un poquito de ajo picado.
- Pon un wok o una sartén grande al fuego alto. Cuando esté humeando incorpora el aceite. Deja humear de nuevo y añade el pollo, salteando rápidamente para que no se sancochen sino que queden doraditos.
- Ojo que en una cocina casera es difícil conseguir ese tipo de fuego, además sonarán las alarmas y terminarás con los bomberos en la cocina. La experiencia será un desastre.
- Añade la cebolla, tomate, aji, saltea rápidamente. Incorpora la salsa de soya y el vinagre por los lados de la sartén, mezclando todo. Corrige la sazón.
- Retira del fuego y rocía con culantro. Sirve enseguida con arroz y papas fritas.

I love chicken stir fry! 🙂
This sounds delicious!!!! Although I have to try the no flame version( :
Interesting. I don’t I knew que salteado se serve con french fries. It’s such a good dish that I don’t think I’d really need much in the way of a starch. Less starch means mas pollo!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm looks delicious! I may need to make this soon.
Que hambre! All I could think of was some of that rice with the yummy flavoring from the chicken. Must eat!
It looks fantastic. We have 5 fire alarms in our home that keep us running from room to room when things get too hot in the kitchen. Builds our appetite.
This post made me feel so much better because I’ve been eating chicken on Fridays, even though eating meat is supposed to be a no-no. This looks yummy!
Una deliciosa manera de comer el pollo.. las fotos están muy buenas!!
This looks so good! I think I’m going to have to make it for lunch today. And I’ll be sure to include the french fries. 🙂
Yeay!!! Felicidad total :)))))
My firm alarms don’t work which is a big fail over here but this looks so good!! Thanks for sharing!
Hehehe. I disconnected mine 😉
¡Ay! Thanks for all the warning. I’ll just show up at your house for this dish with a fire extinguisher. Quick Q: do you have to turn down the heat when you’re adding the soy sauce? I’m afraid the chicken will burn in 10 minutes if the pan/wok is this hot. It goes without saying, wonderful recipe and pics!
Yes, as soon as the chicken is in the pan, turn down the heat, but remember that this preparation is made very quickly over high heat. It should be ready in a matter of minutes. Glad you like it!
I made this dish last night for the 2nd time and it was DELICIOUS!!! The recipe is pretty authentic. I played a little with the chili paste and soy sauce measurements and added a little bit of cumin. The chili paste is what makes this dish so tasty!! The first time I made it, I didn’t have it and it still came out delicious. But adding the paste just takes the dish to another flavorful level! I’m going to check your website for other recipes that I can use it because I love the flavor.
Is it the same steps to make lomo saltado? What kind of beef should be used?
Thanks so much for sharing!!
Thanks for your nice comment! Lomo saltado is made with sirloin steak, and you can find the recipe on the blog. It´s pretty similar to pollo saltado. Enjoy!
I made this to use up some leftover aji amarillo paste and it was absolutely delicious. Love the combination with the French fries and rice. I will definitely have to make Lomo Saltado next.
Glad you enjoyed it Tara. You can make it with beef, fish, scallops, shrimp, or veggies.
I would like to try this with fresh ginger(kion) instead of garlic for a more asian twist. How would you go about it? I’m peruvian but raised in the USA!
I just found a Peruvian restaurant last night and immediately ordered the lomo saltado. I was delighted to see many other Peruvian dishes that I am familiar with in the menu and will go back to check out the rest. It even had lucuma ice cream and I had not eaten that since I departed Peru 43 years ago at the age of 18. I posted it on FB with photos and my youngest Daughter (35y) posted that her favorite Chicken dish was Pollo Saltado. I just about fell off my chair. I had no idea she ever tried the dish. Apparently where she lives in Seattle there is a Peruvian restaurant and knowing that I grew up there she stopped in and tried it out and loved it. Life works in a mysterious circle.
Thanks a lot for the article post.Really thank you! Fantastic.

Put the pan over the highest heat. It should start to smoke. At this point add the oil.
wow nice
This post made me feel so much better because I’ve been eating chicken on sundays, even though eating meat is supposed to be a no-no. This looks yummy~
