Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 2 tomatoes

  • 1 tbsp liquid chicken stock
  • some green onion
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil

Recipe 🍳

  1. Remove the stem from the tomatoes and cut a cross on the opposite side.
  2. Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water, then rinse in cold water and peel off the skin cleanly.
  3. Cut the peeled tomatoes into small bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a bowl, beat 5 eggs and add 1 tbsp of liquid chicken stock to season, mixing well.
  5. Add the chopped tomatoes and sliced green onion to the beaten eggs and mix together.
  6. Heat oil in a pan, then pour in the tomato-egg mixture all at once.
  7. As the eggs begin to set, stir by pushing from the edges toward the center. When the tomatoes are about 70-80% cooked, turn off the heat and serve.
  1. Blanch tomatoes, peel, and chop into small pieces.
  2. Beat eggs, mix with chicken stock, tomatoes, and green onion.
  3. Pour into an oiled pan and scramble lightly until done.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Peeling the tomatoes removes the tough skin, making them very tender.
  • By mixing eggs and tomatoes together instead of stir-frying them separately, you prevent water from forming.
  • Cook the tomatoes only 70-80% to retain a crunchy texture that pairs well with the eggs.
