    EGGS

    4 eggs

    2 tsp sesame oil

    ½ tsp salt 

    Method

    1 First, prepare the minced beef and eggs. For the minced beef, mix all the ingredients thoroughly in a bowl; set aside to marinate for 15 minutes. In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the sesame oil and salt; set aside.

    2 Heat a wok over high heat until it is hot. Add the oil and when it is slightly smoking, toss in the garlic, ginger, black bean sauce and salad onions; stir-fry for 30 seconds. Tip in the beef and stir-fry for 2 minutes, breaking up the meat. Pour in the soy sauce, rice wine and sugar; season. 

    3 Give the mixture several good stirs, then pour in the chicken stock. Once it comes to a boil, add the tomatoes, then when it starts bubbling vigorously again, drizzle in the egg mixture and stir it slowly. When the egg has set, drizzle in the sesame oil and give the mixture two more stirs. Sprinkle with the coriander and serve in bowls with steamed rice, if liked.
