How to Make Tomato and Egg Stir-Fry?
Tomato and egg stir-fry is a classic Chinese dish that is easy to make and delicious to eat. Here is a step-by-step guide to making this dish:
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 2 medium-sized tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper powder
- 1 green onion, chopped (optional)
Steps:
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly with a fork. Cut the tomatoes into wedges and remove the seeds. Chop the green onion if using.
Step 2: Heat the Oil
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or frying pan over high heat until hot. Swirl the oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
Step 3: Cook the Eggs
Pour the beaten eggs into the wok or frying pan and stir-fry until just set. Use a spatula to break the eggs into small pieces. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
Step 4: Cook the Tomatoes
Add the tomato wedges to the wok or frying pan and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until they start to soften. Add the salt, sugar, and white pepper powder and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes or until the tomatoes are cooked through but still firm.
Step 5: Add the Eggs
Return the cooked eggs to the wok or frying pan and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until everything is heated through. Add the chopped green onion if using and stir-fry for another 30 seconds.
Step 6: Serve
Transfer the tomato and egg stir-fry to a serving dish and serve hot with steamed rice.
Tips:
- Make sure the wok or frying pan is hot before adding the oil.
- Stir-fry the eggs quickly to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Don't overcook the tomatoes or they will become mushy.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
