Dear Tom,
I'm glad to hear that you are interested in Chinese food. Now I'd like to tell you how to make my favorite dish, Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes.
First, wash two tomatoes and cut them into small pieces. Next, break two eggs into a bowl and mix them well. Then, pour some oil into a pan. When the oil is hot, pour the egg liquid into the pan and fry it until it is cooked. Take it out of the pan. After that, put a little more oil in the pan and add the tomato pieces. Stir-fry them for a while and add some salt and sugar. Finally, put the fried eggs back into the pan and mix them with the tomatoes.
It's easy to make and really delicious. You can have a try!
Best wishes!
