Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe tomatoes
- 1 bunch fresh chives
- 3 fresh eggs
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Then, cut them into bite-sized pieces. If you prefer, you can remove the seeds for a cleaner texture.
Step 2
Wash the chives under running water and cut them into approximately 4-5 cm lengths. You can chop them finer if you prefer, but this length works well for stir-frying with the tomatoes.
Step 3
Crack the 3 eggs into a bowl. Add 4 tablespoons of milk to make the eggs wonderfully tender. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to eliminate any eggy smell, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar for balanced flavor. (Tip: For an extra savory kick, you can add about 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce, but it’s also delicious without it to preserve the original flavors.) Whisk everything together gently with a fork or whisk until well combined.
Step 4
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Olive oil will add a lovely aroma. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped tomatoes and stir-fry lightly for about 1 minute. Then, add 1 teaspoon of sugar and continue to cook for another minute until the tomatoes start to soften, which will enhance their sweetness.
Step 5
Push the stir-fried tomatoes to one side of the pan, or temporarily remove them to a separate plate. This will create space for cooking the eggs.
Step 6
Pour the prepared egg mixture into the empty side of the pan. As the eggs begin to set, gently stir them with chopsticks or a spatula, moving in one direction to create soft scrambled eggs. Avoid overcooking; aim for a tender, moist texture.
Step 7
Once the scrambled eggs are cooked, add the stir-fried tomatoes and chopped chives back into the pan. Gently toss everything together to combine. This completes your delicious Tomato and Egg Stir-fry! Stir-fry quickly for less than a minute after combining all ingredients to maintain the freshness and texture of the vegetables.
