I can see the comparison (I do love poutine. A couple of places around where I live serve it). Gravy with tomatoes and onion in, with fries, and the tofu does resemble cheese curd, naturally. This is also served over rice, though.
But yeah, pretty similar. This makes me wonder if any connection between the two dishes exists.
This article compares them. Personally do not care for any goo that affects the crispness of fries. Some friends enjoy the saltado at our plentiful Peruvian places. - Comfort food. No poutine here. https://www.ajc.com/entertainment/peruvian-dish-worthy-obsession/QMxpCxwosBBEGqGs9AvaVO/
