Chinese tomatos in egg

 

Tomato and egg stir-fry (番茄炒蛋) is a classic Chinese dish that is simple to make and delicious. It is made with tomatoes, eggs, and a few basic seasonings. The dish is typically served with rice.

The tomatoes in the dish provide a sweet and tangy flavor, while the eggs provide a protein-rich and fluffy texture. The dish is also flavored with soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil.

The most important thing when making this dish is to use ripe tomatoes. Ripe tomatoes will break down easily when stir-fried, resulting in a smooth and sauce-like texture. If you use underripe tomatoes, they will not break down as easily and the dish will have a more chunky texture.

Another important tip is to not overcook the eggs. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery. The eggs should be cooked until they are just set, with a slightly runny yolk.

To make tomato and egg stir-fry, you will need:

• 2 medium tomatoes, diced
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions:

1. Heat the oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the tomatoes and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until they are softened.
3. Push the tomatoes to one side of the pan and add the eggs.
4. Scramble the eggs until they are just set.
5. Mix the tomatoes and eggs together.
6. Add the soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil and stir-fry for 1 minute.
7. Serve immediately with rice.

Tips:

• For a more flavorful dish, you can add a pinch of Shaoxing wine to the sauce.
• If you like your dish spicy, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
• You can also add other vegetables to the dish, such as green peppers or onions.
