Description

Tomato Egg Stir-Fry is a quick and easy dish using only a few simple ingredients. This is the perfect meal for a quick lunch or lazy dinner!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large size tomatoes or 4 medium size tomatoes
  • 5 large eggs
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 3 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Prep the ingredients: Chop tomatoes into wedges. Mince garlic and chop green onion, set aside.
  2. In a wok or cooking pan, add oil and turn to medium heat. Crack 5 eggs into the cooking pan. Gently break the egg yolks and scrambled the eggs for about 30 seconds. Once the eggs are half-cooked, transfer them onto a plate and set it aside.
  3. In the same pan, add 2 tbsp of oil. Add minced garlic and chopped onions, and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Then add the tomato wedges and stir-fry until they start to soften.
  4. Add vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, salt, white pepper, and ketchup. Mix until combined and let them cook for about 1-2 minute on medium-high heat.
  5. Mix cornstarch and water together, and pour into the pan. Stir and let it simmer for about 2 minutes, until the sauce thickened. 
  6. Add eggs back to the pan and cook for another 30 seconds. Turn the heat off and remove pan from the stove.
  7. Garnish with more green onions. Serve it as a side dish or serve it over rice. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you prefer your eggs to be less runny or less liquid-like, feel free to scramble your eggs for a longer time. 
  • If you prefer thicker sauce, stir fry the tomato-egg for another 1-2 minutes on medium-high heat.
