Ingredients
4 tomatoes
4 eggs
sugar
salt
water
Method:
- Cut the tomatoes in any way you prefer but as long as they are medium sized.
- Beat the eggs thoroughly.
- Heat a wok or a frying pan and put enough oil in it to scramble them but don't do it entirely.
- Quickly put the tomatoes in and very fast, put in about 2 tablespoons. Let them be there for about a minute.
- When the minute is done, put in the nearly cooked egg. Let it simmer.
- While it is simmering, put in 3 and a half teaspoons of sugar and a teaspoon of salt.
- 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.
