  1. 4 small to medium tomatoes
  2. 1 scallion
  3. 4 eggs
  4. 3/4 tsp salt
  5. 1/4 tsp white pepper
  6. 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  7. 1 tsp shaoxing wine
  8. 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  9. 2 tsp sugar

Recipe

  1. Start by cutting tomatoes into small wedges.
  2. Finely chop the scallion. Then crack 4 eggs into a bowl and season with ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon white pepper, ½ teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine. Beat eggs for a minute.
  3. Preheat the wok over medium heat until it just starts to smoke. Then add 2 tablespoons of oil and immediately add the eggs. Scramble the eggs and remove from the wok immediately. Set aside.
  4. Add 1 more tablespoon oil to the wok, turn up the heat to high, and add the tomatoes and scallions.
  5. Stir-fry for 1 minute, and then add 2 teaspoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste), and ¼ cup water (if your stove gets very hot and liquid tends to cook off very quickly in your wok, add a little more water). Add the cooked eggs.
  6. Mix everything together, cover the wok, and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the tomatoes are completely softened. Uncover, and continue to stir-fry over high heat until the sauce thickens to your liking. Serve with steamed rice. Refrigerate any leftovers.
