Chinese Tomato Egg Stir-fry

Tomato egg stir-fry (番茄炒蛋, faan keh chau daan) is one of my fav Chinese comfort foods. It’s so easy to make and takes less than 15 mins!

ingredients:

Serves 2! 🙂

• 4 tomatoes (3 chopped into wedges, 1 diced)
• 3 eggs
• 2 slice ginger
• 3 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp evaporated milk
• 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/4 tsp white pepper powder
• 1 chopped green onion (garnish)

steps:

1. Beat eggs in a bowl. Add a splash of evaporated milk for a creamier and smoother texture.
2. Heat some neutral oil on a frying pan. Scramble the eggs and set aside.
3. Add sliced ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add tomato wedges and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, then add diced tomatoes. Continue to cook for a few minutes until tomatoes have softened.
4. Add ketchup, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar and white pepper powder. Add the cooked eggs, then mix everything together.
5. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with rice!

tips:

1. Add evaporated milk/ milk to eggs. I like to add a splash of evaporated milk or milk to make the eggs have a silkier and creamier texture.
2. Scramble the eggs until they are just set. Try not to overcook the eggs, as they can become rubbery.
