Tomato & Egg Stir Fry
from simplyrecipes.com
Ingredients:
- 1 pound roma tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 5 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon powder
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 green onion, trimmed and sliced on a bias, to garnish
- 2 cups steamed jasmine rice, for serving (optional)
Directions:
- Slice the tomatoes in half. Cut each half into equal thirds so you have 6 long slices from each tomato. Set aside.
- In a cold, 8 to 10-inch nonstick skillet, add the vegetable oil and beaten eggs. Turn the heat to medium. Once a thin layer of eggs is just beginning to cook on the bottom, push the eggs in one direction to create layers of scrambled eggs.
- Cook the eggs, gently stirring the whole time, until the scrambled eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet and shiny. Remove the eggs to a plate and wipe the pan.
- Add the sesame oil to the pan, followed by the tomatoes, and stir-fry over medium heat until the tomatoes are softened but not mushy (about 3 minutes). Add the chicken bouillon powder, sugar, and white pepper. Toss until combined and the sugar and bouillon have dissolved (about 1 minute).
- Add the eggs back to the pan with the tomatoes. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes to heat through and combine. Taste, adding salt if needed. Sprinkle with the green onions and serve with steamed rice.
Tip:
- You can use chicken broth in place of the chicken bouillon powder. Add 1/4 cup of broth followed by 2 teaspoons of cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon of water, plus salt to taste.
