Tallarín saltado is a Peruvian dish that is found in chifa cuisine. The name of the dish comes from the word "stir-fry" (saltear), in which the food is fried over high heat in small pieces.[1] To make this dish, some cooked noodles, vegetables and portions of meat are sautéed to taste.[2] The seasoning or dressing comes from Chinese spices and sesame oil.

Tallarín Saltado represents a localized Peruvian variation of chifa cuisine and bears a resemblance to the Chinese stir-fried noodle dishes known internationally as chow mein.
When Tallarín Saltado is served together with arroz chaufa, on a single dish, the combination is colloqually referred to as "aeropuerto" which translates to "airport" in English.[3]
