Detailed Steps for Cooking Tomato and Egg Dragon Whisker Noodle Soup
Prepare ingredients: Dragon whisker noodles: as needed, Eggs: 1-2, Tomatoes: as needed (I used cherry tomatoes here, but both types of tomatoes work), Tomato sauce: as needed, Salt: as needed.
Make egg pouches. Pour an adequate amount of water into a pot, bring to a boil and then simmer. Crack the eggs into the water slowly. Once the pouches start to form, increase the heat slightly, cover the pot, and continue cooking. When the pouches float to the surface and the yolk feels just right when poked with a finger, remove the pouches and set aside. The egg pouches made with clear water have a beautiful shape and a clean white color. If you prefer, you can also make the egg pouches after cooking the noodles, but the shape may not be as perfect.
Heat a pot, add some cooking oil, and stir-fry the green onions until golden brown, then remove them from the pot.
Add the diced tomatoes to the pot and stir-fry. I used cherry tomatoes, but both types of tomatoes work.
Once the tomatoes are slightly softened, add the tomato sauce and stir-fry evenly.
After the tomato sauce releases its aroma, reduce the heat, pour in clear water, and add a suitable amount of salt. Add slightly more water than desired because the noodles absorb a lot of water.
Turn up the heat, bring the water to a boil, add the dragon whisker noodles, and stir occasionally with chopsticks to evenly heat the noodles. Cook until done and then turn off the heat. If you’re not in a hurry to eat, cover the pot and let it sit for a moment; the soup will taste even better.
Transfer the noodle soup to a bowl, place the prepared egg pouches on top, garnish with some cilantro, and enjoy the warmth.
