Main Ingredients- 1 ripe tomato
- 1/4 onion
- 1/2 stalk green onion
- 3 fresh eggs
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the tomato thoroughly and cut it in half. Then, carefully trim off the hard core from the cut surface with a knife.
Step 2
Cut the prepared tomato into 6 wedges. Then, cut each wedge in half again. This makes them easier to eat and helps the sauce coat them better during cooking.
Step 3
Finely mince the onion. Slice the green onion into bite-sized pieces. Sautéing the green onion will release its fragrance, enhancing the dish’s flavor.
Step 4
In a bowl, crack the 3 fresh eggs. Add 2 tablespoons of milk to the eggs. The milk will make the eggs extra soft and moist. Whisk gently with a fork or whisk until well combined, making sure to break up the egg whites.
Step 5
Now, preheat a pan over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then pour in all the beaten egg mixture.
Step 6
As the egg begins to set, quickly stir it with a spatula to create fluffy scrambled eggs. * Avoid overcooking to maintain a tender texture. Remove from heat when about 70-80% cooked.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked scrambled eggs to a separate plate for now. This helps prevent them from breaking apart when stir-fried with the tomatoes later, keeping their shape intact.
Step 8
Wipe the pan clean, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and add the sliced green onions. Sauté over medium-low heat until fragrant and a nice green onion oil is rendered. Cook until the aroma of the green onions is released.
Step 9
Once the green onions are fragrant, add the minced onion and stir-fry until the onion becomes translucent and sweet. This brings out the natural sweetness of the onions.
Step 10
Now, add all the prepared tomato pieces to the pan and stir-fry them. Cook until the tomatoes start to soften slightly.
Step 11
As the tomatoes cook, add 0.5 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 0.3 tablespoon of sugar, and a pinch of black pepper. Increase the heat to high and stir-fry quickly, allowing the sauce to slightly caramelize and coat the tomatoes.
Step 12
Return the scrambled eggs to the pan and gently mix them with the tomato mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a little salt if the flavor is lacking (the oyster sauce already contains salt, so taste first).
Step 13
Stir-fry everything together for another moment until well combined.
Step 14
And there you have it! A super easy and delicious Tomato and Egg Stir-fry is ready! For an extra touch, sprinkle some parsley flakes on top. Serve hot with a bowl of rice!
