Tomato and Egg Stir-Fry is a popular Chinese dish that combines the sweetness of tomatoes with the richness of scrambled eggs.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 medium tomatoes, diced

- 2 green onions, sliced
- Optional: fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and season them with salt and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in the whisked eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until softly scrambled. Transfer the cooked eggs to a plate and set aside.

- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the eggs are heated through.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sliced green onions. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Transfer the Tomato and Egg Stir-Fry to a serving platter and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired. Enjoy this flavorful dish with steamed rice or your favorite grain.
