Fried Eggs With Tomatoes And Tofu Recipes

EGG-FRIED TOFU

Steps:

• Slice tofu into 12 equal rectangular pieces. Sprinkle salt on both sides of tofu slices.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep saucepan over medium heat.
• Dip tofu slices into bowl of beaten egg and fry in hot oil until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side.
• Mix soy sauce, green onions, chile peppers, vinegar, sugar, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl. Dip fried tofu into dipping sauce.

CHINESE STIR-FRIED TOMATOES AND EGGS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs well with 1 teaspoon salt, sesame oil and rice wine or sherry. In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water until well combined, then stir in the sugar and ketchup.
• If using fresh tomatoes, core and cut them into 1/2-inch wide wedges.
• Heat a wide nonstick skillet over high heat with 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. When the oil shimmers, add most of the scallions, saving some to garnish. Cook, stirring, until very aromatic, about 20 seconds. Add the eggs, and cook, stirring well with a spatula or chopsticks, until just set but still runny, about 45 seconds. Pour the eggs back into the mixing bowl, and wipe out the pan.
• Reheat the pan over high heat with the remaining tablespoon of oil. When it is hot, add the ginger and cook until aromatic, about 15 seconds. Add the tomatoes and salt to taste; cook, stirring occasionally, until the flesh has softened but still has some shape and the juices have begun to form a sauce, 2-3 minutes. (If using canned tomatoes, add the juice as well and cook about 4 minutes, to reduce it to a saucelike consistency.)
• Reduce the heat to medium. Give the cornstarch-ketchup mixture a stir in its bowl, then stir it into the pan. Cook, stirring, until the sauce returns to a boil and thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, sugar or more ketchup - you want a savory, tart-sweet sauce. Stir the eggs in the bowl to cut up the curds a bit, then return them to the pan. Cook, stirring, for a few seconds to finish cooking the eggs and to combine. Top with the reserved scallions, and serve with steamed rice.

STIR FRY TOMATO AND EGGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the eggs, and green onion; cook and stir until the eggs are almost solid. Add the tomatoes, and cook until eggs are firm. Season with salt, and serve.

TOFU AND TOMATO EGG DROP SOUP

Steps:

• Place a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When hot, add neutral oil and heat for 15 seconds. Add the scallion whites and ginger, and sizzle for 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable stock, and stir to combine. Cover, reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 to 6 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
• Add the tofu, ketchup, salt, sugar and sesame oil, and stir to combine. Taste and add more sugar and salt if needed. It should be slightly sweet, savory and a little tart. Increase heat to medium-high.
• When it comes to the boil, very slowly trickle the beaten eggs into the soup, moving in a zigzag or circular motion, distributing it evenly all over the surface of the soup. You can leave the egg to set without stirring, and this will give you larger chunks of egg. If you like longer strands, run a chopstick or wooden spoon slowly through the eggs as they set. The eggs should only take 30 to 60 seconds to cook. Turn off the heat immediately.
• Ladle soup into bowls and top with the green parts of the scallion. Eat immediately.

TASTY TOMATO FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat until hot.
• Pour in the olive oil and heat that until it just starts to shimmer.
• Add the garlic and saute just until it begins to be fragrant.
• Pour in the tinned tomatoes.
• Season with salt and pepper and throw in the basil leaves.
• Turn the heat down to low and simmer for a few minutes until the flavours meld and the tomatoes have reduced a bit.
• Break the eggs into the pan, leaving some space between them if possible. (This all depends on the size of your pan)
• Cook until the whites just start to set, then pop a cover on and finish cooking until eggs are set and done to your taste. We like them so that the yolks are a bit runny.
• Sprinkle a little sea salt and cracked black pepper over the yolks and serve with toasted bread fingers for dipping.
