Translator: 549690339
Tomato scrambled eggs is a dish almost every person in China has eaten and every cook has made, a dish well-known in every household.
Tomatoes originated in South America and are considered true exotics. Initially grown as ornamental plants due to their vibrant colors, they were dubbed "the fruit of the fox," making people wary of them. Thanks to the unnamed brave soul who first dared to eat "the fruit of the fox," we were spared a dull world in the juice and sauce industry without tomatoes.
From a nutritional science perspective, tomatoes become significantly richer in lycopene and other antioxidants when cooked, reducing the risk of heart disease and combating aging.
From a chef's perspective, tomatoes are plump and juicy, cool in nature with a pleasantly sour and slightly sweet taste, impeccable in flavor, and visually striking, making them perfect for plating and coloring.
