CHINESE STIR-FRIED TOMATOES AND EGGS
Home-style Chinese food at its simplest and, arguably, tastiest, this dish is the object of nostalgia for many Chinese immigrants (and their children). Well-seasoned eggs scrambled until just-set combine at the last moment with a sweet-tart ginger-tomato sauce. Serve with lots of steamed rice. When tomatoes are out of season, canned tomatoes in juice work best.

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs well with 1 teaspoon salt, sesame oil and rice wine or sherry. In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water until well combined, then stir in the sugar and ketchup.
- If using fresh tomatoes, core and cut them into 1/2-inch wide wedges.
- Heat a wide nonstick skillet over high heat with 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. When the oil shimmers, add most of the scallions, saving some to garnish. Cook, stirring, until very aromatic, about 20 seconds. Add the eggs, and cook, stirring well with a spatula or chopsticks, until just set but still runny, about 45 seconds. Pour the eggs back into the mixing bowl, and wipe out the pan.
- Reheat the pan over high heat with the remaining tablespoon of oil. When it is hot, add the ginger and cook until aromatic, about 15 seconds. Add the tomatoes and salt to taste; cook, stirring occasionally, until the flesh has softened but still has some shape and the juices have begun to form a sauce, 2-3 minutes. (If using canned tomatoes, add the juice as well and cook about 4 minutes, to reduce it to a saucelike consistency.)
- Reduce the heat to medium. Give the cornstarch-ketchup mixture a stir in its bowl, then stir it into the pan. Cook, stirring, until the sauce returns to a boil and thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, sugar or more ketchup - you want a savory, tart-sweet sauce. Stir the eggs in the bowl to cut up the curds a bit, then return them to the pan. Cook, stirring, for a few seconds to finish cooking the eggs and to combine. Top with the reserved scallions, and serve with steamed rice.

CHINESE EGGS AND TOMATOES
This classic Chinese dish is so simple, but full of flavor! It's one of my favorites, and I order it with nearly every meal in China. You can have this as a side dish, or even a main dish over rice. There are a few different ways to make this; but this way is my personal favorite. Don't be afraid to throw in some ground pork, cumin seeds, more or less eggs or tomatoes, etc. I will frequently drizzle sesame oil on top of the finished dish.

Steps:
- Scramble the eggs in a non-stick pan, keeping them fairly chunky.
- When eggs are just about done, remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the oil to the skillet, and cook the tomatoes for a few minutes.
- Add salt and sugar to the tomatoes.
- Put the eggs back in the skillet, and mix everything together.
- Voila!
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they have fewer seeds and a more concentrated flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the eggs. If you do, they won't cook evenly and you'll end up with scrambled eggs instead of fluffy eggs.
- Stir the eggs constantly while they're cooking. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Add the tomatoes and green onions to the pan once the eggs are cooked. Stir until the tomatoes are softened and heated through.
- Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar if you like.
- Serve Chinese eggs and tomatoes with rice or noodles.
Conclusion:
Chinese eggs and tomatoes is a quick and easy dish to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. It's a simple dish, but it's full of flavor and it's a great option for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make this delicious dish at home.
