Recipe information

  • Total Time

    15 min

  • Yield

    Makes 4 (main course) servings

Ingredients

6 large eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
2 scallions, finely chopped (reserve some chopped greens for garnish)
4 medium tomatoes (about 1 pound), each cut into 6 wedges
1 teaspoon sugar
Accompaniment: white rice

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Beat eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth but not frothy.

    Step 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add eggs and cook, undisturbed, just until a thin film of cooked egg forms on bottom of skillet but most of eggs are still runny, 5 to 10 seconds. Immediately scrape eggs into a bowl. Wipe out skillet.

    Step 3

    Heat remaining tablespoon oil in skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add scallions and stir-fry until just softened, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring and turning occasionally, until juices are released and tomatoes are slightly wilted but still intact, 4 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt over tomatoes and stir to combine. Return eggs to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are just cooked through. Serve sprinkled with reserved scallion greens.
