Recipe

Crack 3 eggs into a bowl, add 2 pinches of salt, and whisk well to make an egg mixture.
Split a 15cm piece of green onion lengthwise, then thinly chop it finely and mix into the egg mixture.
Remove the stem from the tomatoes and slice them into rounds about 7–8mm thick.
Heat a pan with a generous amount of olive oil and place the prepared tomato slices in one by one to start cooking.
If the heat is too high, reduce to low; lightly sprinkle salt over the tomatoes to season them.
Once the bottom of the tomatoes is somewhat cooked, flip them over, then evenly pour the green onion egg mixture over the entire pan.
Sprinkle a little black pepper over the egg, turn the heat to the lowest setting, cover with a lid, and cook for 3 minutes.
When the egg is cooked to your liking, transfer to a plate, cut into bite-size pieces, and serve with ketchup on the side.

Whisk together chopped green onion and salt with eggs, and slice the tomatoes thickly.
Heat olive oil in a pan, add the tomatoes, season with salt, and cook both sides until golden.
Pour in the egg mixture, sprinkle with black pepper, cover, and cook on low heat for 3 minutes.

Cooking tips

Adding salt rather than sugar to tomatoes brings out their unique umami and sweetness.
Cooking tomatoes with olive oil greatly increases the body's absorption of the nutrient lycopene.
After pouring the egg mixture, turn the heat as low as possible and cover with a lid to cook gently without burning, keeping the inside moist.
