Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • 2 Tomatoes (300g)
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Potato Starch

Seasonings

  • 1 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • [A] 1 tsp Sugar
  • [A] 1 pinch MSG (Umami Seasoning)
  • [A] 1 tbsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine)
  • 1 tbsp Oil (for scrambling eggs)
  • 1 tbsp Oil (for stir-frying tomatoes)
  • Salt (for finishing)

Steps

  1. Prepare a bowl and remove the core from 2 Tomatoes. [Key Tip!] Use the tip of your knife to gently twist and remove the core without cutting too deep.
  2. Cut the cored tomatoes in half using the weight of the knife, being careful not to crush them.
  3. Lay the halved tomatoes flat and cut them into 4-5 wedges each. Transfer the bite-sized pieces to a bowl. [Key Tip!] Cutting with too much force will crush the tomatoes. Instead, use the full motion of the knife and its weight to cut.
  4. Crack 3 Eggs into a separate bowl and add 1 tbsp Mayonnaise.
  5. Make a slurry by mixing 1 tsp Potato Starch with 1 tsp Water, then add it to the egg mixture and whisk well. [Key Tip!] Adding potato starch prevents the eggs from becoming dry even when fully cooked, ensuring a fluffy texture.
  6. In a small dish, combine 1 tbsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine), 1 tsp Sugar, and 1 pinch MSG (Umami Seasoning) to make the seasoning sauce.
  7. Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add 1 tbsp Oil. [Key Tip!] Thoroughly heating the pan until the oil is very hot will result in fluffy scrambled eggs.
  8. Lightly whisk the egg mixture again, then pour it into the hot pan. Stir from the outside in to cook thoroughly and create fluffy eggs. [Key Tip!] Ensure the eggs are fully cooked to achieve a fluffy texture that contrasts with the tomatoes. Mayonnaise and potato starch prevent them from becoming dry.
  9. Transfer the cooked eggs to a bowl.
  10. Add another 1 tbsp Oil to the same frying pan and heat over medium-low heat.
  11. Once the oil is warm, add the cut Tomatoes and coat them with the oil.
  12. Add 1 tsp Sugar and 1 pinch MSG (Umami Seasoning) to the tomatoes and stir briefly to season.
  13. Then, add 1 tbsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) and simmer over low heat until the liquid has evaporated. [Key Tip!] Simmering gently over low heat enhances the natural sweetness of the tomatoes and creates a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Be careful not to burn.
  14. Once the tomatoes have softened, increase the heat to medium-low and push the tomatoes to one side of the pan.
  15. Return the scrambled Eggs to the empty space in the pan, lightly break them up with a spatula, and then quickly toss with the tomatoes. [Key Tip!] The eggs will absorb any remaining moisture from the tomatoes, preventing a soggy dish and keeping the flavors distinct.
  16. Plate the stir-fry, and your "Tomato and Egg Stir-fry" is complete.
  17. Optionally, sprinkle a little Salt over the dish before serving.
