Ingredients:
– 3-4 ripe tomatoes
– 2 eggs, scallions, purified water (or filtered water), and dried onions
Instructions:
Choosing the right tomatoes is essential for a tastier dish. Opt for naturally ripened tomatoes, typically identified by their vibrant red color and slightly soft texture. You may also notice a milky substance on the flesh through the skin. Ripe tomatoes tend to feel slightly soft when touched, and when cut open, they reveal white or yellow seeds, fully ripened red pulp, and a powdery texture.
Wash the tomatoes, make a cross-shaped incision at the bottom of each tomato, and soak them in a bowl of hot water for 10 minutes before peeling. Alternatively, you can blanch the tomatoes in boiling water for 2 minutes and then peel them. Once peeled, dice the tomatoes. You may choose to discard the seeds if you don’t like them.
Heat a small amount of cooking oil in a pan and sauté the dried onions until fragrant. Add the diced tomatoes and sauté until they become soft and form a thick paste. To help the tomatoes soften faster, add a pinch of salt or seasoning powder.
Next, pour in purified water. If purified water is not available, it is recommended to filter tap water through a water purifier to enhance the flavor of the dish. Using unfiltered tap water may affect the taste due to the presence of chlorine.
Bring the tomato mixture to a boil and continue cooking over high heat for about 2-3 minutes to thicken the broth.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt, and whisk until well combined. When the tomato broth has been boiling for a few minutes, pour the egg mixture into the broth.
To create a beautiful cloud-like pattern with the eggs, hold the bowl about 20 cm above the pot and pour the eggs in a circular motion. Avoid stirring the eggs immediately; instead, wait until they start to set, and then gently stir them in one direction. Be careful not to over-stir, as it may cause the eggs to break apart. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute until the eggs are fully cooked. Adjust the seasoning to your taste and turn off the heat. Be cautious not to let the heat get too high, as it may cause the eggs to overflow. Garnish the egg and tomato soup with scallions or coriander, if desired!
Here are some key tips to keep in mind when preparing this dish:
– Using purified or filtered water enhances the flavor of the dish and makes the eggs more tender.
– When adding the eggs, pour them from a height and in a circular motion. Avoid stirring immediately to create a beautiful cloud-like pattern with the eggs. Once the eggs start to set, gently stir them in a circular motion to create a delicate pattern. Avoid stirring too vigorously to maintain the fluffy texture.
– Sautéing the tomatoes before adding them to the broth enhances their flavor and adds a vibrant color to the dish.
– Adding chopped scallions or coriander just before serving boosts the aroma and visual appeal of the dish.
With these simple tips, you’ll be able to prepare a delicious and visually appealing tomato and egg soup that’s sure to impress.
Good luck, and happy cooking!
