Tomato & Eggs (番茄炒蛋)

Step 1

This step is optional. You can leave the tomatoes unpeeled, peel just a few, or peel all of them.

Step 2

Cut 5 thin slices of ginger, and then julienne into thin strips.

Step 3

Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Season it with salt, and then beat vigorously until well combined.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and water.

Step 5

Heat the pan on high heat. Add oil and give the pan a swirl to coat. Pour in the beaten eggs, and push the eggs gently around to scramble.

Step 6

The pan should still be hot, so add a bit more oil. Add the julienned ginger, then the tomato wedges. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, then add water.

Step 7

Give it a taste (but be careful, it's hot!) and adjust the seasoning if needed. Scoop or pour it out into a serving dish, and enjoy!
