Tomato and Egg Stir-Fry for One: Why Set the Eggs Aside First
Cooking for yourself? Cook the eggs and tomatoes separately, then combine them at the end to check each ingredient’s texture. This recipe cooks two eggs first, sets them aside, and uses the same pan to stir-fry the tomatoes.
Before cooking for one
Cooking just for yourself? Start with these amounts from the recipe's one-serving column. Check the full ingredient list below for the remaining ingredients and seasonings.
- Tomato: 1 (medium)
- Eggs: 2
- Olive oil: 0.5 household spoon
Follow the recipe's preparation and cooking steps after measuring; package size is not the amount to use.
Remove the tomato stem and cut the tomato into 2 cm pieces. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Set a plate nearby for the cooked eggs. Use all the oil listed in the ingredient list for the first egg-cooking step. This recipe does not call for continually adding oil if the tomatoes start to stick while stir-frying.
Ingredients for 1 serving
- Tomato: 1 (medium)
- Eggs: 2
- Olive oil: 1/2 household spoon
- Soy sauce: 1/4 household spoon
This recipe is written based on the ingredient list in the app for 1 serving. Household spoons and pinches are everyday measures and have not been converted into exact grams or milliliters. Check the package size and cup capacity in parentheses as well.
Instructions
- Step 1: Wash the tomato, remove the stem, and cut it into 2 cm pieces. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl.
- Step 2: Add all the olive oil listed in the ingredient list to a pan and cook the eggs over medium-low heat, stirring. When no liquid egg remains, transfer the eggs to a plate.
- Step 3: Add the tomato to the same pan and stir-fry over medium heat for 3 minutes. If it sticks to the bottom, lower the heat and stir. Add the soy sauce and mix.
- Step 4: Return the cooked eggs to the pan and mix gently. Check that the eggs are fully cooked through, then serve.
If the Tomato Sticks to the Pan
Lower the heat and stir with a spatula while checking the tomato. If the eggs had been left in the pan, they might have broken into smaller pieces during this step. Once the tomato has softened, mix in the soy sauce, then return the eggs you set aside and combine gently. Finally, check that the eggs are fully cooked.
Balance the Two Ingredients, Not a Red Sauce
The tomato does not need to break down completely into a purée. Finish when you can still see soft tomato pieces alongside the cooked eggs. Since there are few ingredients, it is important to mix the soy sauce evenly rather than pouring it into one spot and stopping there. Let the hot tomato cool a little before eating.
