Chinese Tomato Egg Stir Fry Recipes

CHINESE STIR-FRIED EGG AND TOMATO

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add eggs and green onions. Cook and stir until eggs are nearly set, about 10 seconds. Immediately scrape eggs into a bowl.

TOMATO AND EGG STIR-FRY (番茄炒蛋)

Steps:

• Peel off the skin of the tomatoes (see note). Then cut them into small chunks.
• Beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok (or a frying pan) on high heat. Pour in eggs when oil smokes. When the edge is cooked, push to one side to let uncooked part touch the bottom of the wok. Take the egg out as soon as there is no more liquid (do not overcook).
• Put 1 teaspoon of oil to the same wok, cook tomato and garlic on medium heat until tomato is a little mushy.
• Add cooked egg. Roughly break up the egg with the end of a spatula. Sprinkle salt and sugar, then give everything a quick stir.
• Garnish with spring onion before serving if you wish.

CHINESE TOMATO EGG STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Start by cutting tomatoes into small wedges and finely chop the scallion.
• Crack 4 eggs into a bowl and season with ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon white pepper, ½ teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine. Beat eggs for a minute.
• Preheat the wok over medium heat until it just starts to smoke. Then add 2 tablespoons of oil and immediately add the eggs. Scramble the eggs and remove from the wok immediately. Set aside.
• Add 1 more tablespoon oil to the wok, turn up the heat to high, and add the tomatoes and scallions. Stir-fry for 1 minute, and then add 2 teaspoons sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ cup water (if your stove gets very hot and liquid tends to cook off very quickly in your wok, add a little more water). Add the cooked eggs.
• Mix everything together, cover the wok, and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the tomatoes are completely softened.
• Uncover, and continue to stir-fry over high heat until the sauce thickens to your liking. Serve!
