Time 4h32m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ pound boneless pork loin, cut into thin strips
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon brandy
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 eggs
2 teaspoons salt
½ cup canola oil, divided
8 large tomatoes, cut into chunks
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 bunches green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Mix together the pork, soy sauce, brandy, 1 teaspoon sugar, and cornstarch in a bowl, then cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator 4 to 6 hours.
  • Beat the eggs together with the salt, and set aside. Heat half of the oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Pour in the eggs, and cook until they just begin to coagulate, but are still very raw. Remove from the wok and set aside. Heat the remaining vegetable oil in the wok over high heat. Stir in the tomatoes and remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar. Cover, and allow to simmer until the tomatoes have softened, about 7 minutes.
  • Mash the tomatoes until the mixture resembles a chunky soup. Stir in the marinated pork, and cook 3 to 4 minutes until the pork is no longer pink in the center. Gently fold in the eggs and green onions. Continue cooking uncovered 2 minutes more to cook the eggs.

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: They have a sweeter flavor and are more likely to break down and create a sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many ingredients at once, they will not cook evenly and the sauce will be watery.
  • Cook the eggs until they are just set: Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
  • Add a little bit of sugar: This will help to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Serve with rice: This is the traditional way to serve Chinese egg and tomato.

Conclusion:

Chinese egg and tomato is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
