The 'other half' of China's beloved tomato-egg stir-fry.
What it is
Tomato-egg is China's comfort-food classic. Ripe-but-firm tomatoes hold shape when cooked; overripe ones collapse into sauce. Some cooks add a pinch of sugar to balance acid, and a tiny splash of water helps create the glossy pooling sauce.
