Tomato and egg stir-fry

Why it worksThis is a favourite Chinese home dish. The sugar does not make it sweet. It softens the sour taste of winter tomatoes.

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 400 g tomatoes
• 50 g spring onions
• 8 g garlic
• 15 ml soy sauce
• 5 g sugar
• 25 ml sunflower oil
• 200 g white rice

Method

1. Start cooking the rice as the packet says. Cut each tomato into 8 pieces. Chop the garlic and slice the spring onions.
2. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt. Heat half the oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Pour in the eggs and gently push them around until soft and just set. Put them on a plate.
3. Add the rest of the oil, the garlic and the tomatoes. Cook for 2 minutes, until the tomatoes go soft and juicy.
4. Add the soy sauce and the sugar. Put the eggs back and stir gently for 30 seconds. Add the spring onions and serve on the rice.
