Introduction
This Tomato Stir-Fried Egg dish is tangy, appetizing, and rich in sauce. By adding a small amount of cornstarch slurry to the egg mixture, the eggs become tender and smooth, absorbing the savory tomato juices.

Step 1
Prepare 3 fresh, ripe tomatoes, wash them, and use the tip of a knife to gently score a cross on the skin.
Step 2
Place the scored tomatoes in a large bowl, pour over boiling water, and soak for about 10 minutes to make peeling easier.
Step 3
Clean the scallions and chop them into fine pieces, then set aside in a small bowl.
Step 4
Crack 3 eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt for base seasoning, then add a little cornstarch slurry. Whisk thoroughly with chopsticks and set aside.
Step 5
Remove the soaked tomatoes, peel off the skins, cut them in half to remove the hard white cores, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
💡 Choose ripe tomatoes for a more intense flavor; if the tomatoes aren't ripe enough, add a bit more ketchup for acidity and color.
💡 Adding a little cornstarch slurry to the eggs while whisking makes the stir-fried eggs more tender and delicate.
💡 Do not overcook the eggs; remove them as soon as they set for the best texture. Simmering them in the sauce for 1-2 minutes allows the flavors of the eggs and tomatoes to fuse perfectly.
