Today, I’m gonna make one of my favorite soup which I learned from my mom. It is one of the most classic Chinese homemade dishes. This soup combing the natural flavor of tomato and egg and produced an perfect aroma and fresh taste. I like this soup the most part is easy cooking and also rich in nutrition. Alright, done of talking, I’ll present you the recipe right away!
A. Ingredients Preparation
All we need are some fresh ingredients: 2 tomatoes; 1 bunch of scallion; 3 eggs; 2 glove of garlic; salt; corn starch and some sesame oil.
B. Peel the tomato
We cut a small slice on the tomato before we blanching it, then dip it into water immediately which helps us peel it easily.
C. Other preparation
Crushed the onion
Cut the scallion in small pieces
Mix the egg but not too much(it will help forming)
D. Fry 3mins
Adding some oil inside a pot and put the garlic to mix with medium heat, then, adding the tomato to mix.
E. Boil 5mins
After you saw some red sauce coming from the tomato, adding 1L hot water inside the pot. When the soup start boiling, adding the starch inside which already mix with some water. Turning off the fire, and you gently pouring the mix egg inside the pan.
F. Serve
Spreading some scallion and add few drops of sesame oil for serving. This soup is perfect with some cookies or i prefer to pair it with some noodles.
For tasting, it has the mixture flavour of egg and tomato, the natural egg umami makes the soup smell so good. If you don’t like the natural sour taste from tomato you can put some sugar inside it before your frying step.Also, if you prefer sip it by spoon you can also stew it little bit longer and mixing the egg well done. I’ll give 7/10 for the soup i made today, I need cut tomato into smaller pieces which help the tasting and reducing the cooking time.
My girlfriend tried it, and we eat it with my favorite noodles, so it becomes tomato egg noodle soup. Just one bowl of it will make your stomach not complain anymore.
Also, if i want to put some new idea in it, i might using the vegetable stock instead of water which could bring more flavour for the soup. I always using the tomatoes on the vine for making soup, i’ll try Roma tomato next time to make a thicker tasting soup.
When i learning cooking, i found out that if you don’t put effort and focus on it the result will turning well in the end. You have to bring your 100% patience and focus on the ingredients you are dealing with, and that’s the only way you can becoming a good chef!
