Tomato & Egg Stir-fry
Soft eggs, juicy tomatoes, and a little sauce to spoon over rice. A comforting place to begin your Chinese cooking journey.
Tender leafy pea shoots quickly wilted with garlic. Choose leafy vine tips rather than raw sprouted peas for this version.

Discard wilted leaves and tough fibrous stems. Rinse thoroughly and drain well.
Heat oil over medium heat. Stir garlic 20–30 seconds without browning.
Increase to medium-high heat. Add shoots in two batches, tossing the first batch down before adding the rest.
Add salt and water and toss 2–3 minutes until leaves are wilted and stems tender. Serve hot.
If a stem resists snapping easily, trim that tough section before cooking.
Pea shoots: Use young spinach leaves and adjust cooking to their tenderness.
Serve freshly cooked; refrigerate perishable leftovers promptly. Check packaged ingredients for allergens.
