Ingredients

4 ripe tomatoes, cored, cut into wedges
4 large eggs, beaten
4 tbsp neutral oil
4 green onions, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
1 tsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
2 cups steamed white rice

Instructions

1

Season 4 beaten large eggs with a pinch of salt and beat until fully combined.
2

Heat half the 4 tbsp neutral oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the eggs and scramble into large, just-set curds, about 1 minute. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3

Add the remaining oil to the pan. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and the white parts of 4 sliced green onions and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
4

Add 4 cored, cut into wedges ripe tomatoes and stir-fry over high heat until they soften and release their juices, about 2-3 minutes.
5

Add 2 tsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), 1 tsp granulated sugar, and remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Stir to combine, letting the sauce reduce slightly.
6

Return the scrambled eggs to the pan and toss gently with the tomatoes. Drizzle with 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil. Top with the green parts of the green onions and serve over 2 cups steamed white rice.

Questions

How long does Tomato Egg Stir Fry keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Can I halve or double Tomato Egg Stir Fry?

Yes. As written it serves 2. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
