Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until well combined. Set aside.
Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and finely slice the green onions, separating the white and green parts.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until they just set but are still slightly runny. Remove the eggs onto a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and heat over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and begin releasing their juices.
Pour in the soy sauce mixture and stir to combine. Let the tomatoes simmer for 1-2 minutes to absorb the flavor.
Return the cooked eggs to the skillet, gently folding them into the tomato mixture. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove from heat, garnish with the green parts of the sliced onions, and serve hot with steamed rice or crusty bread.
