Xiaohua sniffed and still mumbled, "So sour!"
After simmering on low heat for ten minutes, add rock sugar and salt. Stir until the rock sugar melts, then set aside.
By this time, the tomato base had taken shape, and Xiaohua, eyeing the tomato sauce in the bowl which had improved in both color and flavor, heard her stomach growl.
"It's not that Xiaohua is hungry!" Xiaohua's face turned red.
Children always have a strange persistence.
Slice the garlic, heat a suitable amount of oil in the pot again, and stir-fry the garlic slices until slightly yellow. Then add the chopped tomato chunks, releasing a fragrance similar to stir-fried tomatoes with eggs.
Add a spoonful of salt, stir-fry until the tomatoes release juice and soften, then pour in the prepared tomato sauce, stir until even, and the tomato base is done.
