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.
Shrimp and soft egg curds with scallion. Cook shrimp first, then use gentle heat for the eggs.

Pat shrimp dry. Whisk eggs with salt, measured water, and scallion.
Heat half the oil over medium heat. Cook shrimp 3–5 minutes, turning, until firm and opaque throughout. Transfer to a clean plate.
Add remaining oil, lower heat, and pour in eggs. Gently fold as the bottom sets.
Return cooked shrimp and fold until eggs are fully set and the egg mixture reaches 71°C. Serve straight away.
Do not add raw shrimp to nearly finished eggs; they need their own cooking time.
Shrimp: Omit for scallion scrambled eggs.
Cook shrimp until firm and opaque throughout, and egg dishes to 71°C / 160°F.
