Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked leftover rice
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Sugar
Instructions
Dice the tomatoes into small pieces and mince the garlic. Chop the green onions, separating the white and green parts.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Once hot, pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them until just set. Remove the scrambled eggs and set aside for later.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes, salt, sugar, and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and form a slightly thick sauce.
Stir in the leftover rice, breaking apart any clumps. Mix well to coat the rice evenly with the tomato mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes to heat the rice through.
Drizzle soy sauce over the rice and mix well. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Add the cooked scrambled eggs back to the skillet and gently fold them into the rice.
Finally, garnish with the green parts of the chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
