Ingredients for Stir-Fried Egg and Tomato
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
2 spring onions, finely chopped (reserve some chopped greens for garnish)
4 medium tomatoes (about 450g ), each cut into 6 wedges
1 teaspoon sugar
Accompaniment: white rice
How to make Stir-Fried Egg and Tomato
Back to contentsBeat eggs with 1/2 teaspoons salt until smooth but not frothy.
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.
Heat remaining tablespoon oil in skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add spring onions 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 teaspoons 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 spring onion greens.
