Ingredients:

2 tomatoes

parsley

shallots

water plus 1 tsp of cornstarch

1 teaspoon tomato sauce

salt to taste 

pepper to taste 

a pinch of chicken essence

sesame seed oil

oil

Clean tomatoes using warm water. Do a superficial cut on the 2 tomatoes then blanch them with boiling water to facilitate easy peeling of the skin. Slice the tomatoes in half and remove the white part. After removing the white part diced the tomatoes. Slice the parsley and shallots and set them aside. Beat 2 eggs in a separate bowl. Prepare corn starch s Heat your wok then place a small amount of cooking oil. When the oil is hot start with the tomato sauce and then the diced tomatoes. When tomatoes have shrunk, add 1 cup of water and season with salt, pepper, and chicken essence. Bring to a boil then thicken the soup by adding the cornstarch slurry in 3 batches. Once the soup has thickened pour the scrambled egg into the soup slowly and in thin shreds. Turn off the heat then adds sesame seed oil. Garnish with shallots parsley. 

Main Dish Pairings

• Steamed Fish with Ginger & Scallions: A light, clean protein that complements the sweet and tangy broth of the tomato and egg soup without overpowering it.

• Yangzhou Fried Rice: The savory, fragrant rice offers a nice textural contrast to the soft soup while making the meal filling.

• Beef Stir-Fry with Broccoli or Green Peppers: The rich, savory umbrella of stir-fried beef balances the brightness of the tomatoes.

• Pork Scallion Dumplings: A classic, comforting combination where the soup acts as a refreshing starter or sideshow to warm dumplings.

Drink Pairings

• Jasmine Green Tea (Hot or Iced): Its aromatic floral notes cut through the richness of the egg ribbons and sesame oil, cleansing the palate.

• Iced Lemon Tea: A popular Hong Kong café style pairing; the crisp acidity complements the tanginess of the cooked tomatoes.

• Plum Juice (Suanmeitang): A traditional cold Chinese beverage whose sweet-and-sour profile mirrors and elevates tomato-based dishes.

• Sparkling Water with a Lime Wedge: Provides light carbonation to refresh the palate between rich bites.
