Scrambled Tomatoes & Eggs with Scallions


This is another simple recipe that most Chinese households know.  Eggs are not just for baking or breakfast, this savory dish uses eggs as one of the main ingredients and can be enjoyed anytime of the day accompanied with some rice.  



Three ingredients makes this whole dish: 
2 Stalks of scallions (green onion) chopped
2 Roma tomatoes chopped (I like Roma tomatoes because they have less seeds and tend to be a little sweeter, but you can use any other tomato you have in the fridge) 
2 Eggs beaten 
*serves 2




Put about 1 teaspoon of cooking oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat.  When you see a slight smoke and the oil is gliding easily across the pan, add the beaten eggs.  Sprinkle a pinch of salt and scramble the eggs then remove from pan.



Add another teaspoon of cooking oil to the pan, then add the chopped tomatoes.  Cook the tomatoes for a couple minutes then season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar (only add the sugar if the tomatoes are too sour, the sugar rounds out the flavor).  

Add the green onions and cook for another minute, then add the eggs back into the pan and break up the eggs further tossing with the tomatoes.  



Remove from pan and enjoy with some rice!
