Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 medium tomatoes sliced into wedges
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 2 scallions sliced into 1" pieces
Instructions
- Beat the eggs in a small bowl; season with vinegar, salt, and sesame oil. Beat lightly to combine.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a well-seasoned wok or large non-stick skillet set over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and scramble until just set. Scoop out onto a plate and set aside.
- Sprinkle the tomatoes with the sugar, then add to the hot wok along with the scallions (add a touch more oil if the pan is looking dry). Stir-fry until the tomatoes have softened; 2 to 3 minutes.
- Return the eggs to the pan and toss well. Taste and add salt as needed. Serve hot.

Notes
- To store Chinese Tomato Eggs, place leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. I don't recommend freezing, as it can mess with the eggs' texture.
- For reheating, use a nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring gently until warmed through, or microwave in short intervals, giving it a stir between each to make sure it heats evenly.
