Tomato Curry Egg Drop Rice
  1. For perfect fluffy white rice - rinse the rice in a sieve under cold tap water, and shake off as much excess water possible. Tip the rice into a heavy-bottomed pot, with a 1 : 1 ¼ ratio of rice to cold water and a good pinch of salt. Turn the heat to medium low, add a tight fitted lid and boil for 10 mins. Reduce to the lowest heat and cook for another 10 mins. Turn the heat off and leave to steam for 5 mins, before fluffing the rice. Always keep the rice covered, unless serving, or your rice will be dry.

  2. Slice the tomatoes into ¼ wedges (optionally - boil the tomatoes whole, with a 'X' sliced into its bottom, for 30 seconds, then remove to cool and peel the skins before slicing into ¼ , to make a smooth sauce, but this is not necessary). Now mince the garlic, and slice the spring onions into chunks, saving the green parts for garnish.

  3. Combine all the stock ingredients into a jug and mix well. Then in another bowl whisk the egg mixture. Lastly, combine the slurry ingredients in a small cup and set everything aside.

  4. In medium-sized saucepan over a high heat, add a splash of oil and fry the garlic and spring onion for 30 seconds, then add curry powder, tomato purée and tomato wedges with a pinch of salt and toss well. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 2-3 mins or until the tomatoes get jammy.

  5. Pour in the stock mixture and bring to a simmer, cook for 6 mins, then give the cornstarch slurry a quick mix with your finger, before drizzling into the sauce. Gently mix, to make sure not to break the tomatoes too much and cook for 1 minute.

  6. Now drizzle the egg mixture into the pan, creating circular motions and let it simmer for 1 minute then reduce the heat to the lowest fire. Use a spatula to drag three gentle folds of silky ribboned pieces of egg. Add a lid and cook for 1 more minute.

  7. Lastly, drizzle toasted sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds and the spring onions greens to garnish. Use a large serving spoon to gently scoop the tomato curry over some fresh rice to serve.
