Health Benefits of Eggs

Did you know that just one egg has about 6 grams of complete protein!?! This means that eggs contain all nine essential amino acids and the ones that your body can’t produce itself. They are also a great source of other nutrients like vitamin D, selenium, phosphorus, choline, and vitamin B12. And not only that they help your good cholesterol go up!

How To Make Chinese Tomato Egg Stir Fry

This simple dish only requires a handful of affordable and easy to find ingredients! And it’s a versatile recipe so feel free to get creative with it!

• Eggs – You will need some whole eggs. But you could also use a liquid egg product if you like. 
• Tomatoes – I used roma tomatoes but any type of tomatoes will work.
• Green Onion – You only need one green onion. Dried chives could be used as a substitution. 
• Soy Sauce – You can also use salt instead to season the eggs.
• Black Pepper – White pepper is another option as well as cayenne pepper to make the eggs spicy.
• Garlic Powder – If you prefer you can use fresh minced garlic or garlic paste. Ground ginger is also really good in this dish.
• Olive Oil – Any type of vegetable oil can be used. Sesame oil is another option that adds lots of flavor. 

 

To begin, heat some olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat on the stovetop. Next, add the tomatoes. Then once the oil begins to sizzle turn the heat down to medium-high and cook the tomatoes for about 5 minutes stirring them every minute. The tomatoes are done when they are soft and tender.

Now, crack the eggs and add them to the tomatoes. You can crack them right into the frying pan. Then add the sliced green onions and mix everything together as you break up the eggs.

Next, season the eggs and tomatoes with some of the soy sauce, black pepper, and garlic powder. Then continue to cook the eggs over medium-high while stirring constantly until they set. This will take about a minute or less.

Once the eggs are ready, transfer them to a dish and enjoy!
