Ingredients

  • Plum Tomatoes1 lb
  • Vegetable Oil1 tablespoon
  • Eggs5 Large
  • Sesame Seed Oil1 tsp
  • Chicken Bouillon Powder2 tsp
  • Sugar2 tsp
  • Pepper1/2 tsp
  • Salt1/4 tsp
  • Spring Onions1
  • Jasmine Rice2 cups

Instructions

  1. 1

    You can use chicken broth in place of the chicken bouillon powder. Add 1/4 cup of broth followed by 2 teaspoons of cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoPrepare the tomatoes: Slice the tomatoes in half. Remove the tough stem from each half that connects to the vine. Cut each half into equal thirds (you’ll get 6 slices from each tomato).

  2. 2

    Make the soft scrambled eggs: In a cold, 8 to 10-inch nonstick skillet, add the vegetable oil and beaten eggs. Turn the heat to medium. Once a thin layer of eggs is just beginning to cook on the bottom, push the eggs in one direction to create layers of scrambled eggs.

  3. 3

    Cook, gently stirring the whole time, until the scramble eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet and shiny, 2 to 5 minutes. Remove the eggs to a plate and, if needed, wipe out the pan.

  4. 4

    Stir-fry the tomatoes and seasonings: Add the sesame oil to the pan followed by the tomatoes and stir-fry over medium heat until the tomatoes are softened but not mushy, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken bouillon powder, sugar, and white pepper. Toss until combined and the sugar and bouillon have dissolved, about 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Add eggs, stir-fry, and garnish: Add the eggs back to the pan with the tomatoes. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes to heat through and combine. Taste, adding salt only if needed. Sprinkle with the green onions and serve with steamed rice.on of water, plus salt to taste.
