                        Fried Fluffy Eggs with Tomatoes . 番茄炒蛋

I always believe simple dishes could always be as delicious as the fancy cuisine if you know the right way to do it.

A friend talked to me the other day that she liked my dishes very much and was drooling every time when she looked at my blog photos, she just did not know if she could do it since she seldom cooked. She asked me to share some easy recipes here, so she can learn cooking from scratch.  No problem, l cooked a simple dish today as per her request, using the two main ingredients that she loves: tomatoes and eggs.

Fried eggs with tomatoes, is a simple dish, and many people cook it in different ways. Today I am going to show you the tricks on how to make the eggs more fluffy and taste better.

我經常覺得簡單菜餚只要烹調得宜，其實和精緻菜式可以同樣美味。

有天朋友說，你做的菜都好美，看見相片都想吃，但不知道她自己能否做到？ 她很想從零開始，從簡易菜餚學起，而第一樣她最想煮好的是 "番茄炒蛋"，因為她愛吃番茄和蛋。這當然沒問題，今天就煮這個菜吧！

番茄炒蛋說易不易，因為番茄一定要炒得軟糯，又能吃到番茄本身的原味，而蛋要炒得夠鬆而帶蛋香。我這道番茄炒蛋沒有用番茄醬，也不是酸酸甜甜的那種；用的都是天然基本材料，加了小竅門，平凡的番茄炒蛋都可以吃得津津有味。

Method:

1. Clean the tomatoes, make a cross at the bottom of each tomato, put them  all inside a pot of boiling water, soak for half a minute, take it out and put      into an icy water bath till cool, then skin the tomatoes and cut them into 8  wedges.

2. Beat the eggs slightly, add in a little salt, sugar and oil, and mix well.

3. Heat up a wok, add in oil, fry the tomatoes together with garlic till a bit soft, add salt, sugar and light sauce, mix well and dish up.

4. Heat up a clean wok till hot, add in 1 tbsp of oil, pour beaten eggs in, pull the cooked egg edges towards the center quickly when seeing bubbles along the edges, then drizzle in rice vinegar；add in tomatoes immediately, mix well with eggs and dish up. Garnish with chopped spring onion.

Cooking Tips:

1.  Hot wok for frying fluffy eggs is a must, and adding oil in the beaten eggs will make the eggs even more fluffier. And of course, you need to act fast as well.

2.  Drizzle rice vinegar onto the fried eggs enhances egg flavor 

3.  Skinned tomatoes are easy to get cooked and seem melting in your mouth with fluffy fried eggs

4.  Lycopene is fat-soluble. Cooking and crushing tomatoes as well as serving in oil-rich dishes greatly increases assimilation from the digestive tract into the bloodstream

3. 去皮番茄更易熟，煮軟後和蛋一樣鬆軟
