Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- 2 tomatoes
- 3–4 eggs
- a pinch of salt
- some cooking oil
Recipe 🍳
- Wash the tomatoes under running water, then cut them into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, beat them until smooth, then add a pinch of salt and mix.
- Add cooking oil to a pan, preheat it well, then pour in the beaten egg mixture and gently scramble until just set.
- When the eggs are about 90% cooked and still moist, remove them from the pan and set aside in a separate bowl.
- In the same heated pan, add the cut tomatoes, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and stir-fry briefly so they stay crisp.
- Once the tomatoes are evenly heated, return the reserved eggs to the pan and quickly toss everything together with the residual heat to finish.
- Cut the tomatoes and beat the eggs, seasoning with a pinch of salt.
- Heat oil in a pan, cook the eggs until 90% done, then set aside.
- Season the tomatoes with salt, stir-fry briefly, then add the reserved eggs and mix lightly to finish.
Cooking tips 💡
- Do not fully cook the eggs in the pan; remove them when they are about 90% done so they remain soft and moist when mixed with the tomatoes, preventing a dry texture.
- If you stir-fry the tomatoes too long, they will release too much water and become mushy, so it's best to cook them quickly over high heat to maintain their crispness.
