Easy Chinese Tomato and Egg Stir-Fry Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 2 medium ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
• 1 green onion, chopped
• 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 tsp sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp soy sauce (optional)
• A splash of water (for tomato softening)

Instructions

1. Beat the eggs in a bowl and add a small pinch of salt. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and scramble gently until just set. Remove and set aside.

2. Add another 1 tbsp oil to the same pan. Add tomatoes and a splash of water. Cook for 2–3 minutes until soft and juicy. Add sugar and soy sauce if using.

3. Return the scrambled eggs to the pan. Stir-fry with tomatoes for another 1–2 minutes until well combined.

4. Sprinkle with chopped green onion and serve warm with steamed rice.

Notes

• Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for best flavor
• Optional: add garlic or a few drops of sesame oil for extra depth
• This dish is great for busy weeknights or as a side with other stir-fries
• Adjust seasoning to taste—some prefer sweeter, others more savory
