Chef Masahiro Kasahara presents the second installment of his 'Itametsukko Club' series, offering professional techniques to achieve a fluffy egg stir-fry, a common challenge in home cooking. This recipe for the classic tomato and egg stir-fry teaches exquisite heat control and cooking tips.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2-3 servings)

  • 3 Eggs
  • 3 Tomatoes
  • 1/4 Long Onion (Scallion)

Seasonings

  • Pinch of Black Pepper
  • Vegetable Oil (to taste)
  • Pinch of Salt
  • [A] 1 tsp Sugar
  • [A] 1 tsp Soy Sauce
  • [A] 1 tsp Oyster Sauce
  • [A] 1 tsp Ketchup

Steps

  1. Finely chop the white part of the long onion and place it in a bowl.
  2. Remove the core from the tomatoes and cut them into 4 wedges each.
  3. Crack 3 eggs into the bowl from step 1, add 2 pinches of salt, and mix. Whisk until the egg white chunks are mostly broken up.
  4. Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until very hot. (Key Tip! Low oil temperature can cause eggs to stick, so ensure the pan is thoroughly heated).
  5. Pour the beaten eggs all at once into the hot frying pan. Stir the eggs, pushing the cooked edges towards the center and bringing the uncooked portions to the outside.
  6. Once the eggs are fluffy and slightly undercooked, remove them from the pan. (Key Tip! Overcooking will make them tough, so remove them just before they are fully set).
  7. Add a little more vegetable oil to the same frying pan and heat again over medium-high heat.
  8. Add the tomatoes cut in step 2 all at once, spreading them evenly in the pan to stir-fry.
  9. Sprinkle 2 pinches of salt over the tomatoes and cook until their edges start to soften, almost like searing them.
  10. When the tomatoes have softened significantly, add [A] 1 tsp sugar, [A] 1 tsp soy sauce, [A] 1 tsp oyster sauce, and [A] 1 tsp ketchup. Stir well to coat everything and let it simmer.
  11. Once the sauce has formed, return the cooked eggs to the frying pan and stir everything together briefly.
  12. Plate the dish and finish with a sprinkle of black pepper.
