Cooking StepsHow to cook Quick Tomato, Egg & Beef Brisket step by step

  1. Quick Tomato, Egg & Beef Brisket
    Step 1

    Prep the ingredients: briefly blanch the beef slices in boiling water — don’t overcook or they’ll lose flavor and nutrients. Beat 4 eggs; for a silkier texture, add a little milk or starch water (for ~200g egg, use about 4g starch, 20g water, and 3g salt). Peel and dice 2 tomatoes.

  2. Quick Tomato, Egg & Beef Brisket
    Step 2

    Heat a wok with cool oil (use a bit more oil than usual), pour in the beaten eggs and gently scramble.

  3. Quick Tomato, Egg & Beef Brisket
    Step 3

    Add the tomatoes and stir-fry. Sprinkle in some salt to help the tomatoes release their juices quickly.

  4. Quick Tomato, Egg & Beef Brisket
    Step 4

    Once the tomatoes soften, add light soy sauce for seasoning and pour in some water to simmer. Add more water if you like extra broth.

  5. Quick Tomato, Egg & Beef Brisket
    Step 5

    My family loves the broth over rice, so I add a generous amount.

  6. Quick Tomato, Egg & Beef Brisket
    Step 6

    After simmering for a minute, add the beef slices and cook for another 30 seconds or so. Taste and adjust salt if needed.

  7. Quick Tomato, Egg & Beef Brisket
    Step 7

    Toss in scallions and minced garlic just before taking it off the heat for extra aroma.

  8. Quick Tomato, Egg & Beef Brisket
    Step 8

    We love the broth with rice, so I don’t thicken it with starch. Feel free to reduce the sauce if you prefer it thicker.

  9. Quick Tomato, Egg & Beef Brisket
    Step 9

    Serve over a bowl of rice and ladle on the broth — absolutely delicious. A dish the whole family never gets tired of!
