Ingredients
2 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)
5 large eggs
Pinch of salt
Pinch of white pepper or black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 green onion, chopped (divided)
2 medium tomatoes, cut into wedges
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp oyster sauce or soy sauce
1/2 tbsp sugar
1/3 cup water
1 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
Crack eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and beat until smooth.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok over medium-high heat.
Add eggs and cook gently, stirring until just set but still slightly runny. Remove and set aside.
Wipe the pan clean and add remaining oil.
Add garlic and the white parts of the green onion, cooking until fragrant (about 15 seconds).
Add tomatoes, ketchup, oyster sauce (or soy sauce), sugar, and water. Cook for 1–2 minutes until tomatoes soften.
Return eggs to the pan and gently stir to combine.
Adjust seasoning with salt if needed, then drizzle with sesame oil.
Garnish with green onion and serve immediately.
Notes
For extra tender tomatoes, peel them before cooking by blanching briefly in hot water.
Do not overcook the eggs—they should stay soft and silky.
Serve best with steamed rice for a complete meal.
