Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 ripe large tomatoes
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ingredients: crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and whisk until smooth. Dice the tomatoes into small chunks, finely chop the green onions, and mince the garlic.
Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, pour in the beaten eggs. Using a spatula, stir the eggs gently until they are just set but still slightly runny. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes, sprinkle them with salt and sugar, and stir well. Cook the tomatoes for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices.
Return the cooked eggs to the pan and add the soy sauce and black pepper. Stir everything together gently, allowing the flavors to combine while being careful not to break the eggs too much.
Finally, sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top. Stir briefly and remove the pan from heat.
Serve the stir-fried tomato and egg hot alongside steamed rice for a complete meal.
