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.
