It is hard to cook when I am living by myself, so I am trying to learn how to cook efficiently. Any suggestion?
Mine:
Tomato scramble egg (Chinese style)
Ingredient:
4 eggs (remove 2 yolks)
1 tomato
1 green onion (or 1/8 onion if prefer)
salt (1/4 or so tea spoon)
Preparation:
Beat 2 whole eggs, 2 eggs' white in a bowl
Add salt to beaten egg
Cut tomato into 1/8 slices, [green] onion into small cube, separate greens from whites if use green onion. Mix green section into beaten egg
Cooking:
Heat 3 tbl spoon of oil in pan, lightly brown onion or green onion's head.
Add tomato into mixture
Dump in eggs, keep temperature on max
Use a utencil to slowly rip the semi cooked egg, to create more surface area. Do not beat too fast, you want the egg to cook into omelet form.
Remove pan from heat when most surfaces have omelet like texture.
Comment:
It taste like omelet but with a uniformed texture, and tomato's taste is everywhere. Slightly salty and goes well with rice.
It is very similar to the egg foo yong in Chinese restaurant.
The hardest part is to keep the stiring under control and not over stir (understir is fine) and keep the stove at MAX TEMPERATURE.
You can replace tomato with anything, the common favorites are: shrimp, BBQ pork, chives, ham, beef, and extra onion. My mom uses San Francisco Dungeon Crab and it is legendary. I am not as skillful yet.
