Home tomato egg practices is very simple. To save time, after been wash tomatoes cut directly and adding sugar and adding salt on the rice steamed, rice cooked when tomatoes are cooked. The tomato egg products only need a minute to complete.
After a hot oil is put in the pot, heat, saute garlic, then add tomato, steamed fry meaning, whisk two eggs, pounding shovel again a few times the eggs are almost DaoLong under two eggs. Avoid by all means is Fried too long, finally put a little sugar. Evaporate tomatoes can itself out of the water when combined with water vapor, it make tomato egg without additional water will also have a lot of juice, tomato and egg flowers have mixed together, completely well used to catch food.
In my ideology, authentic tomato egg practices have to be like this. Work out and found that the original tomato scrambled eggs there's another way.

Remove from heat, fry an egg with a spatula cut bread into small pieces is filled out. Saute minced garlic, add the chopped tomatoes, clean to the juice, add a little water, cover the pot. Stay almost ripe tomato, pour chopped egg cake into the pan, fry, add sugar a little at the same time some salt.
Such speculation method, although the tomatoes and eggs are separated, but still smell, but is not suitable for rice.
