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
- 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.
- Cut the cored tomatoes in half using the weight of the knife, being careful not to crush them.
- 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.
- Crack 3 Eggs into a separate bowl and add 1 tbsp Mayonnaise.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Transfer the cooked eggs to a bowl.
- Add another 1 tbsp Oil to the same frying pan and heat over medium-low heat.
- Once the oil is warm, add the cut Tomatoes and coat them with the oil.
- Add 1 tsp Sugar and 1 pinch MSG (Umami Seasoning) to the tomatoes and stir briefly to season.
- 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.
- Once the tomatoes have softened, increase the heat to medium-low and push the tomatoes to one side of the pan.
- 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.
- Plate the stir-fry, and your "Tomato and Egg Stir-fry" is complete.
- Optionally, sprinkle a little Salt over the dish before serving.
