Tomato Fried Egg/ Tomato Egg Stir-Fry 番茄炒蛋

  

{Year - 2014} My boy didn't like tomatoes, not one little bit. Well, I just do not want him to be picky about food, so whatever food I think is good for him, I'll think of ways to get him to eat it. :) 

When he saw me cooking this dish in the kitchen, the first thing he told me was 'Mommy, don't put tomato, I will not eat tomato'. Then I said 'It's okay if you don't eat the tomatoes, just eat the fried eggs, okay?' Hahaha.... yeah, he only ate the fried eggs and gravy, he told me he liked the fried eggs a lot, just didn't like the tomatoes.... the end of the day, still telling me that he didn't like the tomatoes. Hey boy, the fried eggs wouldn't taste so good without the tomatoes!

Ideal for bento. Still no tomatoes for the tomato-hater:P

Method:步骤

1. Heat oil in a skillet, fry egg into big chunks until 'just cooked'. Remove from heat, set aside.
烧热油，把鸡蛋以大火快速煎至刚熟（半煎炒，可以看下面的视频参考做法）。离锅。

2. Heat oil in a skillet, add spring onion and cook until fragrant. Add in tomato. Stir fry until tomatoes are soft or until no more sizzling sound. Add sauce and cook on medium-low heat until the gravy started to thicken. 
烧热油，加入一半的葱碎，爆香。加入番茄，炒至水份蒸发。加入酱汁，转中小火煮至酱汁开始浓郁。

3. Stir in fried eggs and combine. Cook for another 1 minute. Serve warm.
加入已煎好的鸡蛋，煮至收汁即可。


Tips: 小贴士

1. Fried egg with high heat. Do not overcook the eggs.
煎蛋要用热油，大火，煮至刚熟即可。煮太久的话，鸡蛋会变硬，就不好吃了。

Here's a video to show how I fried the egg in just 40 seconds.

2. Add some sugar to the tomato to make it less sour. 
番茄切好后撒些细砂糖拌均，可以减少番茄的酸味。

3. If you like a "glossy" finish, stir in some corn starch solution (water + corn flour) to thicken the sauce. 
喜欢颜值高的话，收汁时也可以勾芡。若喜欢我的食谱，可以LIKE和追随我的面书专页，不要错过最新食谱发布。
