This recipe I discovered when I visited one of my Chinese friend. They invited us over a lunch. And to my surprise the menu was totally different than what I imagined about the Chinese cuisine. So today's recipe is inspired from the fried eggs and tomatoes which she mentioned me then.



My daughter loves eating eggs, and every single day she wants at least one. With regular eggs recipes, I try to experiment something new and exciting which is healthy also. And this time I served her these egg dish too, and to my surprise she loved it. It has got tomatoes, which made the eggs extra soft and juicy. There are many ways of preparing this dish and honestly speaking, the native people will prepare this dish more perfectly than I. But still I tried this dish my own way, and to my surprise came out pretty good. Now traditionally, the tomatoes which are used in the recipe are without skin. That means, they blanch the tomatoes first, and then peal the skin off. They do it this way because, by blanching the tomatoes, the sourness of the tomatoes are reduced thus making it a bit sweeter in taste. 




In this recipe today I have slightly scrambled  4 egg in the heated pan. Removed it from the pan. In the same pan then I added some chopped spring onion greens and tomato wedges. Added salt and pepper and sauteed it for a while. When the tomatoes were little soft, then I again transferred the eggs back into the pan and cooked every thing together. And that's it. Your stir fried Tomato eggs are ready.Step by step detailed recipe as follows:-
