Seasoning
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- 0.5 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 0.5 tbsp sugar
Shrimp Marinade (Optional)
- 2 tbsp rice wine (for cooking)
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- 0.5 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 0.5 tbsp sugar
Shrimp Marinade (Optional)
- 2 tbsp rice wine (for cooking)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, place the prepared shrimp in a small bowl and marinate with 2 tablespoons of rice wine for about 5 minutes. This step helps to eliminate any fishy odor from the shrimp, ensuring a cleaner taste.
Step 2
Wash the cherry tomatoes, remove the stems, and cut them in half. In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly with a fork or whisk until smooth. You can add a pinch of salt to the eggs if desired.
Step 3
Slice the green onion into small pieces, focusing on the white parts. These will add a lovely fragrance when stir-fried.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced green onions and stir-fry until they become slightly golden and aromatic. This process infuses the oil with a delicious onion flavor.
Step 5
Once the green onions are fragrant, push them to one side of the pan. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Gently scramble the eggs with chopsticks or a spatula until they are softly cooked. Avoid overcooking; they should remain moist.
Step 6
Now, add the halved cherry tomatoes and the drained shrimp to the pan. Stir-fry them together until the tomatoes begin to soften slightly. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Mix everything well to ensure the ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce. Finally, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil for a nutty aroma and sprinkle with sesame seeds to finish.
Step 7
Your delicious Tomato Egg Stir-fry is ready! Adding shrimp makes this dish even more flavorful and gives it a touch of elegance, turning it into a truly satisfying meal. It’s wonderful as a side dish with rice or even as a light appetizer.
Step 8
This versatile stir-fry pairs wonderfully with more than just tomatoes and eggs! Feel free to add other vegetables like chives, spinach, or mushrooms to customize it further. Enjoy creating your own unique version!
