CHINESE STIR-FRIED TOMATOES AND EGGS



Chinese Stir-Fried Tomatoes and Eggs image

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.

Time 20m

Yield Serves 2 or 3, with rice

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 eggs
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 pound beefsteak tomatoes in season, or 1 14.5-ounce can of diced tomatoes in juice
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 scallions, sliced
1 teaspoon minced ginger (from about 1/4-inch nub)
Steamed rice, for serving

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.

2 large tomatoes, cut into thin wedges
salt to taste

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm tomatoes: Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have no bruises or blemishes. Avoid tomatoes that are too soft or have green spots, as these will not be as flavorful.
  • Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give your dish a better flavor and texture than old eggs. If you are not sure if your eggs are fresh, crack them open into a bowl and check for any discoloration or unpleasant odor.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the food from sticking and will also give the dish a more authentic flavor. If you do not have a well-seasoned wok, you can season it by heating it over high heat and adding a tablespoon of oil. Swirl the oil around the wok until it is evenly coated, then remove the wok from the heat and let it cool.
  • Cook the eggs over high heat: This will help to create a fluffy, tender texture. If you cook the eggs over low heat, they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Add the tomatoes and cook until they are softened: This will take about 5-7 minutes. Stir the tomatoes frequently to prevent them from burning.
  • Add the seasonings and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes: This will help to bring out the flavors of the dish. Serve immediately.

Conclusion:

Chinese stir-fried tomatoes and eggs is a quick and easy dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes and eggs, and it is also a healthy and affordable meal. The tips above will help you to make the best possible version of this dish.
