Ingredients
- 200 grams peeled tomatoes (cored and cut into bite-sized wedges)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- ½ teaspoon Potato Starch
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- white pepper (to taste)
- 4 large eggs (58 grams/2 ounces per egg)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
- Add the tomatoes, ketchup, potato starch, salt, and white pepper to a bowl and toss together until the ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Break the eggs into a separate bowl and add the soy sauce. Beat the eggs until they are no large clumps of egg white remaining.
- Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat until hot, and add the vegetable oil and tomatoes. Stir-fry until the tomatoes have released a significant amount of liquid and they are starting to get soft.
- Pour over the eggs, and then immediately reduce the heat as low as it will go.
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed until you can see the bottom of the eggs turn opaque. Then, gently stir the egg curds to the surface, allowing the liquid egg to run underneath them. Let this continue to cook undisturbed until the bottom layer turns opaque again. Repeat until the egg is no longer runny (but still shiny and wet).
- Quickly scramble the mixture and transfer the stir-fried tomato and eggs onto a serving plate. Garnish with cilantro to serve.
