Chinese Stir Fry Tomatoes and Eggs

Chinese Stir Fry Tomatoes and Eggs Recipe: bit.ly/tomatoes...
Because of the many different regions in China, defining a Chinese national dish is nearly impossible. But if you ask Chinese people their favorite childhood dish, stir fried tomatoes and eggs is THE ONE that everyone will agree on! There’re a few variations of this dish. I sometimes stir fry the tomatoes with tofu or beef. You won’t find this dish in Chinese restaurants often, but it’s definitely a staple dish served with rice at home. If you are just starting to learn how to cook in a wok, this is a great recipe for a beginner.
Back in Guangzhou, China, there’re fresh fruits and vegetables all year long and tomatoes are in season most of the time. My mom usually doesn’t add ketchup to this dish, but I do that when tomatoes are out of season in Cleveland. This helps enrich the flavor of the tomato sauce and enhance the color of the dish.
Here’re a few things to know when cooking this dish:
- Tomatoes must be fresh, ripe and soft. Ripe tomatoes make the sauce flavorful and juicy.
- Pealing off the tomato skin will help soften the flesh and make them melt in your mouth.
- Serving the dish with rice is a must.
Ingredients:
3 eggs
2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons ketchup optional
4 medium/large tomatoes
Steamed rice for serving
1 teaspoon corn starch mix in 2 teaspoon water, optional
