- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp water
- chili sauce
- 1/4 tsp sesame oil
Prepare
- 1 green onion, finely chopped

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat a wok over medium heat until wisps of smoke rise from the surface. Add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil and the finely chopped green onion, and stir-fry for 10 seconds.
-
Step 2.
Add the beaten eggs to the wok and cook, gently scrambling, for about 1 minute, or until the curds have set but are still soft and not hard. Remove the wok from the heat, transfer the eggs to a medium bowl, and set aside. Rinse out the wok and dry it with a towel.
-
Step 3.
Return the wok to the stove over high heat. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon vegetable oil and heat until it starts to shimmer. Add the diced fresh tomatoes and stir-fry until they are soft and have released their juices, about 1 minute.
-
Step 4.
Add the soy sauce to the tomatoes and stir-fry for 1 minute.
-
Step 5.
Add the cooked eggs back to the wok and stir to combine with the tomatoes. If the mixture looks too dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water. Add chili sauce to taste, if using. Gently stir-fry for about 1 minute, then drizzle with ¼ teaspoon sesame oil. Serve immediately with steamed rice or Simple Congee.
