Tomato And Egg Stir Fry | Simple And Delicious Egg Stir Fry Recipe

Hi everyone. Welcome to Cook Stacey Cook. Today we are making tomato and egg stir-fry. This dish is probably more frequently made than fried rice in Chinese families throughout the world. It's cheap and easy to make. Its sweet, sour, and savory taste makes it a perfect match with rice. Every family makes a slightly different version of this dish. In this video, I would like to share my version of this famous dish. Let's get started. We will start by finely mincing 4 cloves of garlic. Then prepare 4 green onions. Chop the stem part of the green onion into small pieces and cut the leafy part into 2-inch sections. Keep them separate because we will use them at different times during cooking. Next, cut some tomatoes into wedges like this. Aim for cutting each half into 3-4 pieces. We will also need some eggs. Crack the eggs into a bowl and add a little bit of oil and some salt. Then beat it up evenly. The last thing we need to prepare is some corn starch and water mixture. Simply mix corn starch and cold water together and stir until all the corn starch dissolves. Now we are ready to cook. Add some oil to a hot pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, pour the egg in the pan and pan-fry the egg until it's golden brown on both sides. Use a spatula to cut the egg into smaller pieces as it cooks. When the egg is golden brown on both sides, we can remove it from the pan. Add a little more oil to the pan if needed. Then add the chopped stem part of the green onion. Saute the green onion until some of it starts to turn slightly brown. Then add the minced garlic and mix it with the green onion. Once all the minced garlic is covered with oil, we can add the tomato to the pan. Give the tomato a few more toss to mix it evenly with the garlic and green onion. Then season it with some sugar and stir-fry for about a minute. I prefer this dish less sweet and therefore I am not adding much sugar here. Some people like it a little bit sweeter. You can experiment with the amount of sugar you add to create your favorite version of this dish. After stir-frying the tomato for about one minute, season it with some salt and soy sauce and continue to stir-fry for another minute. When the time is up, we can add the cornstarch and water mixture. Make sure you stir the mixture first because cornstarch tends to settle on the bottom. Mix the cornstarch mixture with the tomato juice and it will thicken up into a sauce. Once you see the sauce has thickened up like this, we can add the fried egg and the leafy part of the green onion to the pan. Also add a touch of crushed black pepper at this time. Now all we have to do is give it a few more toss to mix everything together and we are done. As you can see, this dish is very easy to make and it's surprisingly delicious for a dish this simple. The sweet, sour and savoriness come together in perfect harmony in this dish. I hope you will give this recipe a try and let me know what you think.
