An excellent option is to explore Peruvian gastronomy. It is acclaimed all over the world for the variety of its dishes, both in its traditional version and in fusions with other cuisines.
A clear example is how Peru opened up to Asian food, specifically Chinese and Japanese, giving rise to the emergence of two new cuisines: Nikkei and Chifa. The first, Peruvian-Japanese fusion; the second, Peruvian-Chinese fusion.
Both cuisines are present in Miami with several exponents located in the best places in the city. If you’re up for discovering Chifa food, an excellent place to try it is the Chifa Du Kang restaurant.
