Tomato & Eggs Stir-Fry

On the dining tables of Hong Kong families, tomato scrambled eggs is often an indispensable and delicious dish. Every family has its own unique recipe for this classic home-cooked meal, which is both simple and full of comforting flavours. Today, we're introducing BigBoy's grandmother's family recipe for tomato scrambled eggs, which features a distinctive method that sets it apart from other versions of this dish.

The preparation of this secret tomato scrambled eggs recipe is quite different from traditional methods. The essence of this dish lies in thoroughly cooking the fresh tomatoes until they are completely softened, which allows the tomatoes to release their fresh aroma and sweet-tart taste. According to Grandma’s secret recipe, the tomatoes must be cooked until they are deeply flavoured and fully broken down. This ensures that the tomato sauce becomes smoother and richer, enhancing the overall flavour profile of the dish.

Once the tomatoes are well-cooked, the next step is to mix them with silky scrambled eggs. First, heat the pan until it’s smoking, then add cooking oil. Pour in the beaten eggs and immediately remove the pan from heat, stirring quickly to cook the eggs to a soft, slightly underdone texture using the residual heat of the pan. This method creates exceptionally smooth scrambled eggs. Immediately add the hot tomato sauce to the pan and cook the mixture until the eggs are about 80% done. This technique allows the egg mixture and tomato sauce to blend harmoniously, resulting in a unique, rich texture. Each bite is filled with the sweetness of the tomatoes and the creamy smoothness of the eggs, delivering an exquisite taste experience.
