Tomato Egg Stir-Fry

Fan Qie Chao Dan

Tomato egg stir-fry is one of the most beloved Chinese home-cooking dishes because it is fast, inexpensive, and comforting. The sauce is naturally sweet and bright.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Beat eggs with a pinch of salt.

  2. 2

    Scramble eggs in hot oil until just set, then remove from the pan.

  3. 3

    Cook tomatoes with sugar and soy sauce until they release juice.

  4. 4

    Return eggs to the pan and fold gently until coated.

  5. 5

    Finish with scallions and serve over rice.

Cooking tips

  • Pull the eggs while slightly underdone; they will finish in the tomato sauce.
  • A spoonful of ketchup gives grocery-store tomatoes extra body.

Substitutions

  • Use cherry tomatoes when regular tomatoes are out of season.
