Instructions
- Break the eggs into a bowl and use chopsticks or a fork to beat them. Add salt, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, and ground white pepper. Continue to beat and stir until well combined.
- Heat a wok or skillet with 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Add the egg mixture and use a spatula to spread the eggs evenly. Stir continuously until the eggs start to form lumps. Gently break the lumps into smaller pieces. Once the eggs are fully cooked, remove them from the wok or skillet and set aside.
- Clean the wok or skillet and heat it again with 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Add the tomato wedges and stir quickly. Add the sugar and water to the tomatoes. Cover with a lid and cook for about 30 seconds. Transfer the eggs back into the wok, stir-fry for another 30 seconds, then dish out and serve immediately.
Notes
- To make perfect scrambled eggs, keep stirring the beaten eggs back and forth using a spatula. This technique ensures the eggs form nice, chunky pieces.
- Timing is crucial; you don’t want runny or overcooked eggs. As soon as the scrambled eggs are set, turn off the heat and set them aside.
- Use juicy, ripe tomatoes—Campari tomatoes are recommended because they are juicier, sweeter, and less acidic.
- Combine the scrambled eggs with the tomatoes, but be careful not to overcook.
