Tomato and Beef Slippery Egg Rice Bowl

A fast and comforting 10-minute weeknight meal featuring tender beef and juicy tomatoes enveloped in a silky egg blanket over warm white rice.

Ingredients

• 3 tomatoes
• 200 g thinly sliced beef
• 3 cloves garlic
• 4 eggs
• 2.5 tbsp light soy sauce
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 tbsp clean water
• 1/3 tbsp white sugar
• 1 pinch white pepper powder
• 1 bowl cooked white rice
• to taste green onions

Instructions

1. 1Score the Tomatoes

   

   Take three tomatoes and make a cross cut on each one using a knife on a wooden cutting board to make them easier to peel, though peeling is optional.

   Tip: Scoring the skin helps the tomatoes peel effortlessly after blanching.
2. 2Blanch the Tomatoes

   

   Place the scored tomatoes into a pot of boiling water and blanch them for one to two minutes.

   Tip: Do not overcook them; just enough time to loosen the skin.
3. 3Peel the Tomatoes

   

   Peel off the outer skin of the blanched tomatoes.

   Tip: Use a fork or your fingers carefully as the tomatoes will still be hot.
4. 4Blanch the Beef

   

   Bring clean water back to a boil and quickly blanch 200 grams of thinly sliced beef inside a strainer until it changes color, then set aside.

   Tip: Quick blanching removes impurities and prevents the beef from becoming tough during stir-frying.
5. 5Chop the Tomatoes

   

   Bring the peeled tomatoes back to the cutting board, cut them in half, remove the stems, and chop them into small pieces.

   Tip: Chop them finely so they break down easily and release their juices when cooking.
6. 6Mince the Garlic

   

   Mince three garlic cloves on the cutting board to use later for stir-frying and building aroma.

   Tip: Mince the garlic uniformly to ensure even flavor distribution.
7. 7Prepare the Seasoning Sauce

   

   In a clean white bowl, combine light soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, tomato paste, water, white sugar, and a pinch of white pepper powder. Mix thoroughly until all the sauces and seasonings are fully blended together. Skipping extra salt keeps the dish well-balanced due to the natural saltiness of the soy and oyster saucescite: 1.

   Tip: Do not add extra salt since the soy sauce and oyster sauce already provide sufficient savory flavorcite: 1.
8. 8Cook the Final Dish and Plate with Rice

   

   Add the prepared sauce mixture and blanched beef to the cooked tomatoes in the pan, then pour in the beaten eggs over the ingredientscite: 1. Lower the heat to medium-low and let the eggs cook to a silky, semi-solid texturecite: 1. Finally, place a molded ball of cooked white rice right in the center and garnish with freshly chopped green onions before servingcite: 1.

   Tip: Adjust the cooking time for the eggs depending on whether you prefer them soft and tender or more fully setcite: 1.
