Tomato or egg first

  1. Liangliang

    今天(jīntiān)做(zuò)番茄(fānqié)炒蛋(chǎodàn)。先(xiān)放(fàng)番茄(fānqié)，还是(háishi)先(xiān)放(fàng)蛋(dàn)？

    Today we make tomato and egg. Tomato first, or egg first?

  2. Dengdeng

    先(xiān)放(fàng)蛋(dàn)！我(wǒ)妈妈(māma)一直(yīzhí)这样(zhèyàng)。

    Egg first! My mom always does it this way.

  3. Liangliang

    不(bù)对(duì)，应该(yīnggāi)先(xiān)炒(chǎo)番茄(fānqié)，这样(zhèyàng)更(gèng)甜(tián)。

    No, fry the tomato first. It is sweeter that way.

  4. Dengdeng

    可是(kěshì)番茄(fānqié)会(huì)出水(chūshuǐ)，蛋(dàn)会(huì)变(biàn)成(chéng)汤(tāng)。

    But the tomato releases water and the egg turns into soup.

  5. Liangliang

    那(nà)我们(wǒmen)做(zuò)两盘(liǎngpán)，一盘(yīpán)先(xiān)放(fàng)番茄(fānqié)，一盘(yīpán)先(xiān)放(fàng)蛋(dàn)。

    Then we make two plates, one tomato first, one egg first.

  6. Dengdeng

    最后(zuìhòu)两盘(liǎngpán)都(dōu)好吃(hǎochī)，白(bái)吵(chǎo)了(le)！

    In the end both plates are tasty. We argued for nothing!
