Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- tomato 150g
- egg 3 pieces
- garlic 3 cloves
- bacon 2 strips
- sugar 1 tablespoon
- a pinch of seasoning salt
- soy sauce 0.5 tablespoon
- vegetable oil a little
Recipe 🍳
- Slice garlic thinly and cut bacon into finger-thick pieces. Cut the tomato into uniform, bite-sized pieces.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl before cooking and gently whisk until well blended without creating too many bubbles.
- Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat, then add the sliced garlic and sauté until golden brown, allowing the garlic aroma to infuse the oil.
- Once the garlic scent is gently released, add the bacon and cook until the surface becomes crisp and golden brown, bringing out its full flavor.
- Add the prepared tomatoes to the pan and stir-fry gently until they soften slightly and their juice begins to melt into the mixture.
- When the tomatoes are just right, add sugar, seasoning salt, and soy sauce according to the specified amounts, ensuring even distribution of seasoning throughout the ingredients.
- Pour the beaten egg mixture evenly over the entire pan surface, reduce the heat to low or turn off the flame, and gently stir with chopsticks in circular motions, scrambling the eggs softly to achieve a moist and creamy finish.
- Cut garlic, bacon, and tomato into bite-sized pieces. Gently whisk the eggs in a bowl.
- Heat oil in a pan, then sauté garlic and bacon until golden brown. Add tomatoes and cook until soft and juicy.
- Season with sugar and soy sauce, then pour in the egg mixture and cook gently on low heat or residual heat, stirring softly until fluffy and set.
Cooking tips 💡
- Using an equal amount of oyster sauce instead of soy sauce will deepen the umami flavor, giving the dish a richer taste.
- When cooking the eggs, avoid high heat as they will quickly become firm; promptly lower the heat or use residual heat to maintain a creamy texture.
- Cook the tomatoes thoroughly until they lose their crunchiness—this maximizes the release of natural sweetness and savory compounds from within the fruit.
