VIVA Chicken Brings Wok-Fried Favorite Menu Back For A Limited Time

Caryn Little,

VIVA Chicken, the fast-casual Peruvian rotisserie joint known for serving up the hottest, freshest chicken possible, launches its popular Asian-inspired steak menu on November 8 for a limited time through December 14.

The steak-focused offerings include:

  • The Lomo Saltado: VIVA’s take on one of Peru’s most popular stir fry entrees featuring tender, marinated sirloin, onions, tomatoes and cilantro, served over Jasmine rice and french fries.

  • Wow Lomito: A flavorful sandwich packed with marinated steak, sauteed onion, tomatoes, rocoto mayo and on a warm, soft toasted ciabatta roll.

  • Chinito Saltado: Chifa-style stirfry dish with tender sirloin, onions, tomato and herbs a top VIVA’s signature arroz chaufa (Peruvian fried rice with red peppers, green onions, eggs, ginger and soy sauce). Chifa cuisine is a fusion of traditional Chinese Cantonese elements fused with Peruvian ingredients.

VIVA Chicken co-founder, Chef Bruno Machiavello, designed all three dishes to showcase both the Asian influences found in his native Peruvian cuisine and meet the demand for steak-forward options at VIVA.

β€œAfter marinating the steak in our special seasoning blend, we cook it in a high-heat wok to get a nice sear and ensure we stay true to the authenticity and traditions of the dish, from beginning to end,” said Machiavello. β€œWith the return of this highly requested menu, I’m thrilled to once again share with guests the flavors from Peru that still influence me to this day.”

The limited-time menu items are available at all VIVA locations and can be ordered online at www.vivachicken.com or through the VIVA Chicken app.
