Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 large tomatoes
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp soy sauce (low sodium)
- 0.5 tsp sesame oil
- 1 stalk scallions (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the eggs and mix well.
Step 2
Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat.
Step 4
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and stir gently with a spatula, cooking gently until the eggs just begin to set into soft curds. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
Step 5
Return the skillet to the heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until they soften and release their juices.
Step 7
Add the cooked eggs back into the skillet with the tomatoes. Cook for 1-2 minutes, gently mixing to combine the eggs and tomatoes.
Step 8
Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer the stir-fried tomato and egg to a plate and garnish with chopped scallions, if desired.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy!
