Recipe: Chinese Tomato Egg 蕃茄炒蛋

On most evenings, I would serve three dishes during dinner - a meat or seafood dish, a tofu or egg dish and a vegetable dish, for a balanced meal. 

One of our favourite egg dishes is tomato egg 蕃茄炒蛋, which is essentially scrambled eggs topped with braised tomatoes with garlic and spring onions. For fluffy eggs, add a dash of water to your egg mixture before scrambling. A super easy dish to make, and definitely one you want in your kitchen repertoire!
