Authentic Chinese Tomato Egg Stir Fry Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 large eggs (beaten)
  • 2 medium tomatoes (diced)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp green onions (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp salt (to taste)
  • 1 tsp black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (for flavor)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Ingredients

    Beat the eggs in a bowl and dice the tomatoes. Chop the green onions if you're using them.

    Make sure the tomatoes are ripe for the best flavor.
  2. Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

    Ensure the oil is hot before adding the eggs to prevent sticking.
  3. Cook the Eggs

    Add the beaten eggs to the skillet and scramble until just set. Remove from the pan and set aside.

    Don’t overcook the eggs; they should be soft and fluffy.
  4. Stir-Fry the Tomatoes

    In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed and stir-fry the diced tomatoes for about 2-3 minutes until they soften.

    You can add a pinch of salt to help the tomatoes release their juices.
  5. Combine and Serve

    Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet, mix with the tomatoes, and add soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for another minute.

    Garnish with green onions and sesame oil before serving.
