Tomato Egg Stirfry - Chinese Breakfast Item!

Step 1

Cut 2 whole tomatoes in half. Remove the stem portion from both. Then cut into wedges. Afterwards, cut the wedges in half again - so it turns bite-sized.

Step 2

Cut green onion stalks into thin pieces. Set aside the white portion for frying in oil. And then green portion for garnish.

Step 3

Crack 5 eggs into a bowl. Then season with salt (1/2 teaspoon!), as well as few shakes of black pepper. Whisk thoroughly - so the yolk and white turns into one.

Step 4

Mix Corn Starch Powder (1 teaspoon!) with Water (2 Tablespoons). Set aside for later.

Step 5

Place Vegetable Oil (2 Tablespoon) into a wok. Place on medium-high heat. Then add in the Green Onion (white portion). Once the pieces start to sizzle, add in the tomato chunks.

Step 6

After you add-in the tomatoes, stir-fry it around for 1 minute. Then add in Ketchup (3 Tablespoons) and Sugar (2 teaspoons!). Then, add in 1/4 cup of Water (60 ml).

Step 7

Once it comes back up to a boil, give the starch mixture another quick stir. Then add-in the starch mixture into the tomatoes and give everything a few stirs. Turn off the heat and place the tomato mixture into a separate bowl.

Step 8

Quickly wash the wok and dry it off with a paper towel.

Step 9

Add 2 Tablespoons of cooking oil into the wok. (Make sure there is a small layer of oil - feel free to add another Tablespoon if needed). Place on medium-high heat.

Step 10

Once the oil is hot, add in the beaten eggs. After 10 seconds - the egg will start to set at the edges (reference picture). Immediately, add in the stir-fried tomato mixture.

Step 11

Now gently fold the egg that have set at the edges, inwards - into the tomatoes. Repeat this step - this will make large, fluffy egg curds.

Step 12

At this stage, if you have chicken stock powder on hand - add in 1/2 teaspoon (!) Skip this ingredient, if you don't have.

Step 13

Now, gently break up the large egg pieces into the tomato mixture with your spatula. Stir-fry everything for 15-20 seconds more. Then turn off heat.

Step 14

Plate and garnish with green onion (and cilantro if you like!)

Step 15

Serve with a bowl of fresh hot rice! Bon Appetit!
