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.
Small pork wontons cooked separately, then served in a clear scallion broth. Store-bought thin wrappers make preparation manageable.

Stir pork, ginger, filling soy sauce and cold water until slightly sticky. Keep chilled while arranging wrappers.
Put about 10 g filling in each wrapper. Moisten edges with clean water, fold and press firmly to seal without large air pockets.
Bring the measured soup water or stock to a simmer in one saucepan. Add salt, scallion and sesame oil.
Boil another pot of water. Add wontons in batches and simmer 5–8 minutes until wrappers cook and the centre of the largest filling reaches 71°C. Floating alone does not prove safety.
Lift cooked wontons with a slotted spoon into bowls and ladle over hot broth. Keep raw filling utensils away from serving bowls.
Do not overfill thin wrappers; the seal is more reliable with a small mound of filling.
Ground pork: Use ground chicken and cook the filling centre to 74°C.
Whole cuts of pork must reach 63°C / 145°F, then rest at least 3 minutes. Ground pork must reach 71°C / 160°F.
