Simpleng Putahe Lang- Chinese Stir-fried Eggs and Tomatoes

eggs and tomatoes

Sino ba naman ang di familiar sa scrambled eggs na may kamatis?

I’m sure we all do. Right? When I was growing up in the Philippines, my mom used to make something similar to this. I thought it was the best egg and tomato recipe ever. Until I found this place in Brooklyn (8th Avenue). I was totally amazed how these simple ingredients can be transformed into something extraordinary.

I do not know the name of the place because I cannot read its sign (Chinese Eh!). I just know where it is. After office hours, I just walk from 9th Avenue where I used to work, down to Chinatown in Brooklyn. The place is like a “turo-turo” where you can get a plate of rice with four ulams for $5.00. You can pick from around twenty types of ulam. However, among the 20 available entrees, my absolute favorite is the stir fried eggs and tomato. Smothered over soft and hot white rice, OMG! Talagang makakalimutan mong mag diet. Kumbaga, “it really hits the spot”.

I know that I wont be able to duplicate it but I think the following recipe is the closest thing to it. I already tried it so many times. Its really good!

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Shao xing rice wine
  • 1/4 cup cooking oil
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium-sized tomatoes or 3 roma tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar

 Procedures

  1. In a small bowl, stir cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water. Set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, beat eggs well with salt and white pepper. Add the rice wine.
  2. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the scallions and stir-fry until the oil is fragrant and the scallions have softened but not browned, about 20 seconds. Add the eggs and stir-fry rapidly, turning the eggs around in the pan until everything is evenly cooked and just tender, about 1 minute. Remove from heat just before eggs have completely set. Transfer to a large plate and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the wok and heat until shimmering. Add the chopped tomatoes to the wok and stir-fry until most of the flesh in the tomatoes has cooked down, about one minute. Reduce heat to low. Add the ketchup and sugar and cornstarch slurry and stir around until the mixture has thickened slightly, about 20 seconds.
  4. Add the eggs back to the wok and stir-fry until everything is mixed. Serve immediately. Leftovers may be refrigerated and heated in the microwave just until heated through.
  5. The basic principles of egg scrambling apply here: don’t overcook, and keep the eggs moving in your vessel—in this case a wok—to ensure even cooking. The whole dish comes together in 20 minutes or less, and I can’t think of a better use for two ingredients (three, if you count the ketchup) that are usually lingering in your kitchen.
