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 on how to make it.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 2 medium-sized tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped scallions (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. Cut the wedges into small pieces.
Step 2: Heat the Oil
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or frying pan over high heat until it starts to smoke slightly.
Step 3: Stir-Fry the Tomatoes
Add the tomatoes to the wok and stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until they start to soften. Add the salt, sugar, and white pepper and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the tomatoes are fully cooked and slightly mushy.
Step 4: Add the Eggs
Pour the beaten eggs into the wok and stir-fry quickly to scramble them. Mix the eggs with the tomatoes and continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked.
Step 5: Add the Scallions (Optional)
If you like, you can add chopped scallions to the wok and stir-fry for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Step 6: Serve
Transfer the tomato and egg stir-fry to a serving dish and enjoy with steamed rice.
Tips
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the ingredients to the wok. This will help prevent the food from sticking to the pan.
- Don't overcook the tomatoes. They should be slightly mushy but still retain their shape.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste. You can add more or less salt, sugar, and white pepper depending on your preference.
