Fry Tomato With Egg - 番茄炒蛋

I personally like this dish.The ingredients are easy to get and cheap. Not just because of  that, tomato is rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Calcium, Potassium and also high in hycopene to help prevent heart disease and cancer. 

I have cooked this dish quite a number of times before, but I am not very satisfied, either the egg is over cooked or it turns out too dry.  Until yesterday I chanced upon this link and I tried it out today. I am happy with the result and like the consistency, the egg is not over cooked and the taste is just right done, it is not too sour and sweet, is not overly wet but juicy.

Recipe: Adapted from 楊桃美食網-3分鐘學做菜

Ingredients:

5 eggs

3 tomatoes

40 g spring onions

Seasoning:

50 c.c. (ml) stock

3 tablespoon tomato sauce (I put one tablespoon, as I do not want the overpowering tomato taste)

1 tbsp sugar (I used 1 teaspoon only as my tomatoes are sweet)

1/4 tsp salt

1 tbsp corn starch water for thickening 

Method:

1.  Wash and clean the tomatoes, cut into pieces, cut spring onions into 2 cm long.

      Break eggs into a big bowl and add salt beat till mix well.

2.  Heat up wok, pour oil, saute spring onions, tomatoes over slow heat until fragrant.  Add in stock, sugar and 

     cornstarch water to cook for a while until a consistency you get..  Dish up.

3.  Heat up a clean wok, pour some oil, stir-fry the egg evenly and almost cooked (the egg should be a 

     little watery, soft) , add in (2) and toss up and till well combined.

Pan Fried Minced Pork Omelette

My husband is a pure Cantonese. . I am not very sure whether this is a authentic Cantonese dish or not. But I know when he was a little boy, his mother used to cook this dish for his family. The ingredients are very simple and easy to prepare. if you prefer, you can add a little bit of onion or shallot or spring onion.

Today the reason I post this recipe here is so that my children can refer to in future. They like this egg omelette very much especially my youngest son, he can have it everyday.

A delicious dish does not mean it must comprise of expensive ingredients. This hand-me-down recipe only needs humble eggs and minced meat that you can easily get from your neighbourhood supermarket.

200 g minced meat (pork)

2 large eggs

~~2)Beat eggs with salt, light soy sauce to taste and corn flour, beat until well mix.

~~3) Add 1 into egg mixture, mix well.
