Ingredients
4 large eggs
4 medium tomatoes
2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil
2 stalks green onion, chopped (white and green parts separated)
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons ketchup
¼ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
¼ teaspoon white pepper
⅓ cup stock or water
Instructions
- Blanch the tomatoes by cutting a small X on the bottom of each and placing them in boiling water for 30 seconds. Transfer to ice water, peel off the skin, and cut into wedges or bite-sized chunks.
- Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and white pepper. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, ketchup, sugar, cornstarch, and stock or water to create the sauce mixture.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or skillet. Add the whisked eggs and scramble gently until just set but still soft. Remove and set aside.
- Wipe the pan clean, add the remaining oil, and sauté ginger, garlic, and the white parts of the green onion until fragrant.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and prepared sauce. Stir and cook for 2–3 minutes until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.
- Return the scrambled eggs to the pan and gently toss with the tomato mixture for about 30 seconds to coat evenly.
- Drizzle sesame oil over the top and garnish with the green parts of the green onion before serving hot with steamed rice.
Notes
Use cherry tomatoes for a naturally sweeter flavor and faster cooking time.
Substitute oyster sauce with mushroom sauce or extra soy sauce for a vegetarian version.
Add chili flakes or a fresh red chili for a spicy kick.
For more sauce, increase the amount of stock or water slightly.
Best enjoyed fresh, but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
