How to Make Tomato and Egg Delicately

Editor: Chinese Food Network Mobile site

Key Point One: Simple Ingredients

1.EggsTwo (Less is more; if not enough, people will remember you better.)

2.Diameter 6cm TomatoesTwo.If American tomatoes are large, with a diameter of 12cm, then use ( frac{4/3 times 3.14 times (6 times 6 times 6)}{12 times 12 times 12} = 0.25 ) tomatoes.If using tender Jiangnan tomatoes, use ( frac{4/3 times 3.14 times (6 times 6 times 6)}{4 times 4 times 4} = 6.75 ) tomatoes!Note: The ratio of eggs to tomatoes is crucial; if there are too few tomatoes,

Stir-fried Eggswill taste bland, greasy, and dry.Too many tomatoes will make the dish too sour, soupy, and unsatisfying for the stir-fried eggs.Good ingredients not only form the basis of a delicious meal but also ensure nutritional balance.Wrong Idea: "Add whatever leftover from last night's meal to this dish."

"Why put those valuable yet useless leftovers in your stomach when you could just throw them away?"Key Point Two: Vigorously Beat the Eggs

Here, what is emphasized is "beating" the eggs, not stirring them.

Specifically, after cracking the eggshell (if you are still unskilled at cracking an egg, please seek guidance before proceeding),pour it into a bowl and beat the eggs with two chopsticks rapidly. The motion of the chopsticks should form a cone, with its tip above the rim of the bowl and its base submerged in the bowl.Gradually, the egg whites andyolkmelt together, losing their distinct textures and colors. Adjust your hand position so that the chopsticks gradually approach parallel to the rim of the bowl. The new motion should form a cone with its tip on the side of the bowl, precisely at the extension plane of the rim.This is true "beating" the eggs.Note: Beat the eggs vigorously for a longer time, gradually increasing speed, ensuring that every chopstick movement scrapes the bottom of the bowl. Continue until almost all the egg has exited the bowl's rim and the surface shows abundant foam. Only then can you consider the eggs well beaten.

Wrong Idea: "Beating is just to get uniform consistency."

"In fact, this process creates complex effects that significantly improve how the eggs perform when they hit the hot pan."Key Point Three: Stir-fry Eggs in Oil

Use a round-bottomed thick-walled iron wok for better heat distribution and even cooking.

Pour an equal amount of vegetable oil as there are eggs (never use animal fat; it is too high in cholesterol and gets greasy when cold). Heat the oil until it seems to be about to smoke, then pour in the eggs without hesitation.

Note:

1.

Before pouring, shake the wok to ensure the oil coats the bottom, preventing the eggs from sticking and burning.2.

Do not heat the oil too high; it should be hotter than usual for stir-frying meat but not overly so.3.Do not pour the eggs directly into the center of the oil; instead, pour along the edge of the oil and the wok's rim in large amounts.4.

Immediately use a spatula or chopsticks to stir-fry the eggs, allowing uncooked portions to release, ensuring all parts absorb enough oil and heat.Wrong Idea: "A little less oil can be used."

"The softness and aroma of the dish depend on whether the eggs are thoroughly saturated with high-heat oil."As long as you follow these steps, the eggs can indeed absorb twice their weight in oil.

Key Point Four:Tomato juiceand water moisture

Once all oil and water have been used up, and the eggs are fully cooked, add sliced tomatoes (dry them with a cloth from the bowl before adding).Stir the mixture with a spatula.The key is to quickly chop the tomatoes into small pieces while stirring, repeating this process several times until the tomatoes are in 2-3cm pieces and well mixed with the eggs.

Note:1.

Slicing the tomatoes should be thin but with large pieces.

2.Remove the stem from each tomato.

3.You do not need to peel the tomatoes.

4.Use any juice that comes out during slicing.

Wrong Idea: "Tomatoes can be cut into chunks and added."There's nothing more to say; eating boiled eggs

and raw tomatoes would save effort.Key Point Five:When the tomatoes seem to be softening and releasing juices, turn off the heat decisively.Add an appropriate amount of salt and stir. Serve on a plate.

Note: Turning off the heat before adding salt is a secret to perfectTomato and Egg Stir-fry.

You will find that when you serve the dish, the tomatoes have released just enough juice!Wrong Idea: "Do something more before serving.""Poor souls always feel they need to do more; adding MSG, pepper powder, cilantro,scramble

the eggs too much or overcook the tomatoes..."Remember: Good intentions do not guarantee good results.Quality does not improve by quantity.Cooking a dish is like life; it's about doing the right thing at the right time and in the right way.Advice:1.Do not make this dish if there are other more impressive dishes. It will be overshadowed.2.

Avoid heavy smoke in the kitchen.Not good things piled together become better.Cooking a dish is like life; it's about doing the right thing at the right time in the right way.

Notes:

1.Do not serve tomato scrambled eggs with a fish feast, not because it is cheap and delicious, but because it may fail to impress.

2.Do not make your house full of smoke.
