- Salt¼ tsp
- Sugar1 tsp
- MSG
- Ketchup1 tbsp
- Vegetable oil3 tbsp
- Toasted sesame oil½ tsp
- Rice · cooked2 cups
- Soy sauce1 tsp
- Oyster sauce1 tsp
- Cornstarch½ tbsp
Instructions
- Cut the tomatoes into wedges and remove the cores. Cut into smaller pieces if you want a soupier dish.
- Thinly slice the green onions, keeping the whites and greens separate.
- Beat the eggs with 1/4 tsp kosher salt, a small pinch of sugar and a small pinch of MSG (if using). Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp oyster sauce and 1 tsp sugar.
- Measure 2 tbsp water and 1 tbsp ketchup into separate bowls.
- In a small bowl, whisk 1/2 tbsp cornstarch with 1 tbsp water to make a slurry.
- Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok over high heat. Pour in the eggs and cook for 45 seconds, moving them gently, until about 80% cooked. Remove and set aside.
- In the same wok, heat 1 tbsp oil over high heat. Add the white parts of the green onions and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the tomatoes and a pinch of salt, then pour in the sauce. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes; the sauce will scorch slightly, which adds smoky flavour.
- Add the 2 tbsp water and the ketchup. Stir and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, until the tomatoes soften and the juices bubble.
- Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for about 30 seconds, until the sauce thickens.
- Return the eggs to the wok, break them into smaller pieces and stir for 1 minute. Taste and add more salt if needed, then add the sesame oil (if using) and mix.
- Transfer to a plate, garnish with the green onion greens and serve with 2 cups hot cooked rice.
