My Chinese Food Recipe

Traditional Tomato and Egg From China

Ingredients

4 tomatoes
4 eggs
sugar
salt
water

Method:

  1. Cut the tomatoes in any way you prefer but as long as they are medium sized.

  2. Beat the eggs thoroughly.

  3. Heat a wok or a frying pan and put enough oil in it to scramble them but don't do it entirely.

  4. Quickly put the tomatoes in and very fast, put in about 2 tablespoons. Let them be there for about a minute.

  5. When the minute is done, put in the nearly cooked egg. Let it simmer.

  6. While it is simmering, put in 3 and a half teaspoons of sugar and a teaspoon of salt.

  7. Put this in a bowl and serve straight away.


This dish is a traditional from eastern China. It was put on rice as a quick lunch for school kids. It is still made today for children for dinner. This information comes from a very good friend of mine who taught me how to make it and if you try it, you'll think that it is one of the best dishes ever.
