Ingredients
- 4 small to medium tomatoes (about 500 g, 1 pound)
- 1 scallion
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 tsp salt (divided, or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp Shaoxing wine
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/4-1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Start by cutting tomatoes into small wedges and finely chop the scallion.
- Crack 4 eggs into a bowl and season with ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon white pepper, ½ teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine. Beat eggs for a minute.
- Preheat the wok over medium heat until it just starts to smoke. Then add 2 tablespoons of oil and immediately add the eggs. Scramble the eggs and remove from the wok immediately. Set aside.
- Add 1 more tablespoon oil to the wok, turn up the heat to high, and add the tomatoes and scallions. Stir-fry for 1 minute, and then add 2 teaspoons sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ cup water (if your stove gets very hot and liquid tends to cook off very quickly in your wok, add a little more water). Add the cooked eggs.
- Mix everything together, cover the wok, and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the tomatoes are completely softened.
- Uncover, and continue to stir-fry over high heat until the sauce thickens to your liking. Serve!
