    Another beautiful video. I thought your father's comment about getting to eat a whole egg by himself on his birthday in China when he was growing up was extremely poignant.

    Thanks for posting these recipes! My mum is Cantonese but because my dad doesn't like Chinese food she hasn't cooked it much. I made this today and towards the end she remembered having it as a kid - she said it tasted just like her mum's (similar thing has happened with a few recipes from here lol). It's been nice unlocking her food memories from when she was a kid and being able to have some myself! We ended up eating it with rice as that's how she said she had it.

      If you're in Taiwan, Malaysia, and Singapore, The word 番茄 is still used. But in the case, this is not only in Cantonese, some parts in Mainland China including Sichuan and even Wuhan (I'm not talking about politics over Wuhan in it), the word 番茄 is used. But, for Beijing, they use the word "西紅柿" which means "Western Red persimmons". That's my explanations......

    That story about your dad’s generation not being well off enough to enjoy an egg except on special occasions like a birthday really resonates with me as I heard that from my dad as well who is a retired Cantonese/Dim Sum chef around the same age as your dad. I think it must resonate with many first gen ABCs whose parents grew up during the cultural revolution in China.

    One of my favorites dishes growing up was stewed tomatoes and scrambled eggs.
    Our family has grown and canned their own tomatoes since I was a child. I have loved tomatoes of all types even then. I'd tell my grandma that I was hungry while they were all canning and she would scramble a couple eggs and take a ladle of the simmering stewed tomatoes (usually they had a bit of celery/onions/bell pepper too) right on the almost done eggs. Then send me and my bowl out to the porch to get out from underfoot.
    My mother would also make this dish when tomatoes started ripening up.
    Now that I'm the grandma and can the tomatoes I have been putting stewed tomatoes in the little 8 or 10 oz canning jars for my own small breakfasts.
    I had not seen any other family make eggs this way until most of these great Asian chefs started putting out videos. I can almost taste this! Lol

    Thanks for the tips especially on how to cut the tomatoes! I like the sweetness of the tomatoes without the added sugar. I usually use rice wine and rice vinegar which add a nice flavor to the dish I grew up eating.

    Whenever I’m lazy and don’t feel like making anything too complicated, I always just toss up some eggs and tomatoes. Tried your dad’s version tonight and I think I prefer this one (though since I always gotta have some heat in my food, a chopped up jalapeño found its way into the pan) over the other ones I’ve tried!

    My wife's favorite is plan and very simple. 2 tomatoes, 4 eggs, and soy sauce at the end. I prefer to add a teaspoon of sugar at the end. She don't like ketchup. We cook the tomatoes with some water till it's all soft. It's all up to your preference. Maybe a few drops of hot sauce will be even better. 🔥

  • @cubix626
    @cubix626 2 роки тому +32

    Interesting, I cook it a different way. I cook tomatoes first, and just simmer the water away instead of cornstarch to give it a stronger tomato flavor, then I mix in eggs and actually cook on low heat like scrambled eggs, taking it off heat when still slightly gooey, letting the residual heat cook the rest of the way.
    I also season my eggs with a splash of tsuyu (shirodashi also works) and a squeeze from japanese garlic tubes to give the eggs some sweetness and flavor.
    I'll also top it off with cut green onions, and if I'm lazy I'll just use pre cut frozen ones.
    I generally like to use garlic more than ginger, but eager to try a different way to this dish!

    • @enexified

      same - i cook the tomatoes first and let the juice come out, then i take it out, cook the eggs just slightly then i add in the tomatoes. the difference is that after the step with adding in the eggs and tomatoes, you can either add ketchup or add tomato paste with half a teaspoon of sugar just to really bring up the sweetness of tomatoes. i haven’t tried adding the dashi but i imagine it would make it sweet too!

    • @greatwhitenorth3717
      @greatwhitenorth3717 2 роки тому

      That technique sounds really delicous. Cooking the egg that way like in slippery eg shrimp makes them velvety and the reduction of tomatoe intensifies the tomatoe flavour. Gonna try that for sure!
