We had a wonderful and cheerful Chinese student stay with us in our home in Uzbekistan, and he cooked as a dinner one night. I don't remember other dishes of that dinner but this soup was so good I still remember it 35 years later
One of our families favorite meals is stewed tomatoes with scrambled eggs. Every fall we can our tomatoes into sauces and stewed tomatoes. The stewed tomatoes have onions/celery and green bell peppers and garlic. To test the flavor we take the big frying pan and scrambled eggs and put a few ladles of the hot stewed tomatoes over them. I like a few dashes of hot sauce in too. I will surely try this this summer.
does the soup still taste good when you reheat it ? for example, i make it in the morning and only eat it in the evening, is it still gonnna be as savoury as in the morning ?😢
@@mayli456789 The soup is good for about 1-2 days in the fridge and anytime after that tasted a bit funky. The flavor will be as good as you made it in the morning and if you are planning to eat it later, you should leave out the vinegar and add it in after reheating. Vinegar/any kind of acid makes food go bad quicker compared to food without vinegar. Hope this helps!!
I grew up eating this (and stir fried tomato and scrambled egg 😂). My mom didnt like cooking and we were broke because she was a single mom and a new immigrant struggling to find work (my dad was around too but he was equally broke and struggling). My mom would normally make it with just tomato, water, egg, and salt. And honestly, this basic version is quite good too. But i must try your version
This lady is so beautiful and a great cook....I honestly follow her recipe and I feel great..I'm not asian but love they food ❤..thank you...I'm in Australia..
follow exact directions minus salt, Add ginger matchsticks, 1 hamburger patty, oyster sauce instead of salt and cook macaroni right into it. Hong Kong style Cafe macaroni tomato beef
I love your videos and your recipes. I most definitely will make this. Also saw your video on hot and sour soup. Will be making that as well. Quick question: are your recipes and ingredients listed in your videos? If yes where? Thank you.
I make this quite often actually (once a week) but I make a whirlpool out of the soup by spinning it hard, so when I pour in the eggs they resemble super thin (hair-like thin even) pasta.
I've incorporated several of your recipes into my cooking routines; so thank you. However, I don't like cooked tomato pieces, especially in Asian food. I look forward to your other postings.
amazing for weight loss and appetite control as well as a breakfast or lunch (or snack!) because its really high in protein and healthy fats, has some good fibre, & is low calorie! ♥
What else do you use tomato in? My family uses tomato in most if not all foods, but i have seen Chinese use it only in this soup or maybe in salad. Sometimes the same dish, but fried tomato and egg instead of soup. If there is no other dish, why did Chinese begin to make this soup as the exception for tomato? -
Tomatoes are not native to China - they come from South America. They've only been used in Chinese cooking for about the past 150 years, so you won't find them in traditional cooking.
Hi, the wok I use is my own brand, you can buy it on my website - curatedkitchenware.com/products/carbon-steel-wok-with-flat-bottom Thank you for the support.
I saw someone ask Chris and Steph at CCD why Chinese food doesn't ever use tomatoes. They answered very politely and pointed to some very popular, very classic dishes that are tomato focused. The people in the comments were in an absolute uproar. "What? WHAT? Is he NEW? Is he NOT sick of the tomato egg discourse? GAHHHH!"
