Ingredients
Eggs:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Tomatoes:
- 2 green onions thinly sliced with whites & greens separated
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 3 ripe roma tomatoes stems removed & cut into 1/2-inch wedges
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the large eggs and soy sauce until well combined. Set aside.
- Heat a wok or large pan on medium heat and once hot, add about a tablespoon of oil. Add whites of green onions and garlic. Saute for a few seconds, or until tender and fragrant.
- Add tomatoes, then saute for a few seconds to combine with aromatics. Sprinkle in sugar, and pour soy sauce along the edges to create a little char. Stir to combine well, then reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Cook for 1-2 minutes, checking at the 1 minute mark to check tenderness and stir to prevent burning. Tomatoes should be very soft and tender.
- Add about a tablespoon more oil, or enough to coat the pan well once mixed with the tomatoes. Increase heat to medium-high then pour in the eggs. Once the edges of the egg are set, continuously push the cooked edges towards the center until the eggs are about 80% done (eggs are still a little wet).
- Turn off the heat, add the remaining green onions, stir and use the residual heat from the pan to finish cooking the eggs.
- Serve immediately with hot steamy rice and enjoy!

Notes
- Eggs: This recipe is using large eggs. Since there are only a few ingredients, try using the freshest eggs you can get for the best flavor.
- Tomatoes: Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor, easy tenderness, and juicy consistency. I use roma tomatoes since they’re easily accessible.
- Soy Sauce: This adds saltiness and umami.
- Sugar: A little goes a long way to help bring out the natural sweetness of the tomatoes.
