Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes and cut them into small wedges.
Finely chop the green onions, separating the white and green parts.
Mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until well combined. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to the eggs for seasoning, if desired.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until they are scrambled and just set. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Once hot, add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the tomato wedges to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and begin to release their juices.
Stir in the soy sauce and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor of the tomatoes.
Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet and gently fold them into the tomato mixture. Cook for another minute to combine the flavors.
Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with the green parts of the green onions.
Serve hot as is, or pair with rice or toast for a complete meal.
