After the egg is fully cooked, set it aside to a plate. Then, have a new pan, and add in some oil. When the pan is heated, add in the tomato and let it cook for a few min.

Food is not just a dish but a door where culture and society intervene. For example, new trends of food are recreated with combination of different cuisine or the forgotten tradition food by many young adults. I choose scrambled egg with tomato as my recipe because it’s a been a dish I’ve grew up with and it’s a simple dish to make. For me this dish has alway been my comfort food because it warming and the combination of red and yellow just make it very appetizing. It is also scientifically proven that these two combination of color increase appetite and opens your tastebud. In addition, this dish has been a popular Chinese cuisine eaten all over China for thousand of years, but different family will have a slightly different recipes and taste to it. For my recipe, I have a little recreation of adding some ketchup so it taste more sweet and tarty. However, the most important thing is to serve the dish with a bowl of cooked rice. In conclusion, food and cooking brings joy to people and brings them together.
The ingredients and procedures are very clear and easy to understand. And I really like the conclusion which you mention how food can bring joy and people together. I also think that eating with people that are close to you on regular days or holidays is always the most blissful thing. Nice picture, too!
Great writing! Clear and personable.
I’d love to hear a bit more about the dish’s meaning to you.
I like crambled eggs with tomato very much, and it is also a dish I have eaten since I was young, which has aroused my resonance. I really like your innovation in this dish. I prefer sour and sweet flavors over salty ones, so your recipe is very appealing to me and clear and easy to make. I can’t wait to give it a try!
