It is a dish you rarely see on menus, yet tomato and eggs are a classic staple of Chinese home cooking. Tomatoes, eggs and spring onions may seem like simple, basic ingredients but the subtle complexity of this dish is often overlooked as it is such a humble and easytocook dish. Have you ever taken a bite of tomato and eggs and wondered how the eggs manage to taste like tangy tomatoes, yet is still fluffy? Although tomato and eggs seem like an easy omelette thrown in together the pan right off the bat, these two ingredients are actually cooked separately to retain its respective textures.

In our recipe, the tomatoes are firstly stir fried with fragrant spring onions and thickened with a cornflour slurry. Then the beaten eggs are gently, but not fully, cooked on their own until creamy, before the tomato mixture is added in. This allows the half scrambled eggs to absorb the rich, robust tomato juices to create that amazing combination of texture and flavour.

To some, tomato and eggs may taste like nostalgia, and to those who are curious of how real Chinese comfort food tastes like try a heaping scoop of aromatic tomato and eggs over steaming hot rice!
