Ingredients
Scale
- 4 small to medium tomatoes (about 500 g, 1 pound)
- 1 scallion, finely chopped
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 teaspoon salt (divided, or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/4–1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Cut tomatoes into small wedges and finely chop the scallion.
- Crack eggs into a bowl; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine. Beat for a minute.
- Preheat wok over medium heat until smoking. Add 2 tablespoons oil, then pour in eggs. Scramble and remove immediately; set aside.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the wok, turn heat to high, and add tomatoes and scallion. Stir-fry 1 minute, then add sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup water (add more if needed). Add eggs back in.
- Mix everything, cover, and cook 1–2 minutes until tomatoes soften.
- Uncover, stir-fry on high until sauce thickens. Serve hot.
Notes
Fully ripe, sweet tomatoes like Roma or beefsteak work best for flavor. Take care not to overcook the eggs—they should stay tender and moist. If you like extra sauce, adjust the water but don’t overcook the tomatoes, which can make the dish watery.
