On October 26, Madrid will become the stage for an unprecedented gastronomic event, with the preparation of the ‘World’s Largest Chaufa’ at the Wanda, led by renowned chef Edwin Castro. This initiative not only aims to break a Guinness record, but also to bring together thousands of people to taste this iconic dish from chifa cuisine, a delicious fusion of Chinese and Peruvian culinary traditions.
The event will be free to attend and will take place at the Explanada del Cívitas Metropolitano, where attendees can witness the live preparation of the giant chaufa rice. The event promises to be a unique and unforgettable experience and will last for over 12 hours, starting at 10 in the morning.
Chaufa rice is a stir-fried dish in a wok that combines ingredients such as chicken, beef, pork, seafood, green onion, and soy sauce. Edwin Castro, born in Virú, Trujillo, Peru, has perfected the mastery of preparing this dish throughout his career, turning his Chifa Doromari restaurant chain into a reference for chifa cuisine in Europe.
Under his leadership, Chifa Doromari has managed to establish itself in cities like Madrid and Barcelona, receiving praise both nationally and internationally. Among the awards he has received are the European Prize for Technology and Innovation and the Chef Revelation Award in Spain, which demonstrates his impact on Peruvian cuisine in the continent.
Edwin Castro also uses platforms like Instagram and TikTok to share recipes and special moments, inviting his followers to explore the fascinating world of creative cooking that he represents.
More than an attempt at a record, this event is a tribute to multiculturalism and culinary art, a celebration that will surely stay in the memory of all attendees.
