Easy Chinese Dishes for Foreigners - Stir-fried Eggs with Tomatoes

 

Stir-fried tomatoes and eggs is a common home-style dish made primarily with tomatoes and eggs. The main ingredients include eggs, tomatoes, cooking oil, salt, water, light soy sauce, chopped green onions, sugar, and oyster sauce.

The flavor of stir-fried tomatoes and eggs is slightly sour with a hint of sweetness. The dish is characterized by its perfect balance of sweet and sour, and its rich, juicy flavor. If you prefer more tomato juice, cut the tomatoes into smaller pieces; this will allow the juices to be released more easily during cooking. It's also worth noting that adding a small amount of water to the eggs will make them very tender. Cook the tomatoes until they resemble a tomato sauce; you can add a suitable amount of sugar during this process to balance the flavor.

Ingredients: 3-4 eggs, 1-2 tomatoes (can be increased as needed)

Marinade

1 gram of salt

3 grams of sugar, and cooking oil

Prepare the ingredients: 3 eggs, 2 medium-sized tomatoes, 1 gram of salt, 3 grams of sugar, and cooking oil as needed.

Crack the eggs, beat them well, and put them in a bowl for later use. Cut the tomatoes into small pieces and set aside.

Pour some cooking oil into the pan, and once the oil is hot, pour in the beaten eggs.

Add a little sugar, a little salt, and a little light soy sauce to the pot and stir-fry evenly. Then reduce the sauce over high heat.

Once the eggs have slightly solidified and broken up, push them to one side (or set them aside). Then add the tomatoes and stir-fry evenly.

Add salt, stir-fry evenly, then turn off the heat and plate.

Cooking Tips

1. If you prefer more tomato juice, cut the tomatoes into smaller pieces; this will make it easier for the juice to be released during cooking.

2. Adding a little water to the eggs will make them very tender when scrambled.

3. Summer tomatoes are very juicy; they release a lot of juice after just a short time of scrambling, so there's no need to add water at the end.

4. When the tomatoes have turned into a tomato sauce-like consistency, you can add a suitable amount of sugar during the scrambling process to balance the flavor.
