Preparation

  1. 1

    Cut tomatoes into wedges and beat the eggs thoroughly in a bowl with a pinch of salt.

  2. 2

    Heat half the vegetable oil in a wok or pan over medium-high heat until hot.

  3. 3

    Pour in the beaten eggs, letting them set gently around the edges, then scramble softly for 1 minute before sliding onto a plate.

  4. 4

    Heat the remaining oil in the same pan, then add tomato wedges and sliced scallion whites.

  5. 5

    Cook tomatoes for 3 to 4 minutes until they soften into a rich, luscious sauce; season with sugar and soy sauce.

  6. 6

    Return soft scrambled eggs into the skillet, gently tossing together with the tomato sauce for 30 seconds, and garnish with green scallions.
