Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 medium tomatoes
• 2 stalks green onions
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until well combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and finely slice the green onions, separating the white and green parts.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until they just set but are still slightly runny. Remove the eggs onto a plate and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and heat over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 6

Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and begin releasing their juices.

Step 7

Pour in the soy sauce mixture and stir to combine. Let the tomatoes simmer for 1-2 minutes to absorb the flavor.

Step 8

Return the cooked eggs to the skillet, gently folding them into the tomato mixture. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

Remove from heat, garnish with the green parts of the sliced onions, and serve hot with steamed rice or crusty bread.
