Instructions

  • Slice the tomatoes into thin wedges.
  • Break the eggs into a bowl and use chopsticks or a fork to beat them. Add salt, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, and ground white pepper. Continue to beat and stir until well combined.
  • Heat a wok or skillet with 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Add the egg mixture and use a spatula to spread the eggs evenly. Stir continuously until the eggs start to form lumps. Gently break the lumps into smaller pieces. Remove them from the wok or skillet and set aside.
  • Clean the wok or skillet and heat it again with 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Add the tomato wedges and stir quickly. Add the sugar and water to the tomatoes, cook for about 30 seconds.
  • Transfer the eggs back into the wok, stir-fry for another 30 seconds, then dish out and serve immediately.
