Chinese Tomato and Egg Stir Fry

onion ((sliced))

green onions

ginger

white pepper

salt ((or 2 teaspoons of soy sauce))

sesame oil

tomato paste

honey ((or sugar))

white vinegar

soy sauce

shaoxing cooking wine

Wash the tomatoes and chop them into bite sized chunks and set aside

Slice the onion and ginger and set aside

Cut the green onions 2 inches lengthwise and then cut them again lengthwise thinly and set aside

In a small bowl, mix together all the ingredients under the 'Tomato Sauce' ingredient list and set aside

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and the seasoning under 'Scrambled Eggs' ingredient list and set aside

Preparation

Set the stove to medium to medium low heat and add a little bit oil into a frying pan and wait until it is slightly smoking

When the pan is hot, add in the egg mixture. The eggs will start to bubble on the edges and start to set. Once egg starts to set around the edges, use a utensil to push the 4 corners into the center, then tilt the the pan slightly so the remaining raw egg runs to the edge of the pan and push the corners into the center again. Do this a few times until it is cooked but try not to over cook the eggs.

You won't get broken up pieces of scrambled egg with this method but instead a big mound of fluffy cooked eggs. Break up the egg into bit sized chunks and set it aside on a plate for later

Scrambling the Eggs

Set the stove to medium heat, and add a bit more oil into the pan

Once the oil is hot, add in the ginger and toast it a bit so that it turns slight brown. This way the ginger flavor comes out into the oil. (approximately 1-2 minutes)

When the ginger is brown, add in the onions and cook it until it is soft and translucent.

Once the onions are soft, add in the chopped tomatoes and tomato sauce and cook it for 3-4 minutes (or 5-6 minutes if you like it saucier). (Be careful if the oil is hot, the tomatoes might sizzle and splash a bit when you add them to the oil) You want to cook the tomatoes slightly so they are soft and some of the tomato juices are released into the sauce. Try not to overcook the tomatoes too much so there are still chunks of it to eat.

Do a taste test. Tomatoes have different acidity depending on what type you use. If the sauce is too sour, add an additional 1/2 tablespoon of honey/sugar and taste it again. Adjust it until it is to your prefered sweetness.

Once it is done, turn off the heat and add the scrambled eggs and green onions and mix together with the sauce until the eggs are well coated with the sauce.

Remove the ginger slices before serving

Enjoy with a bowl of rice! :)
