The Method
How it's made
- 01
Heat one tablespoon of oil in a wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- 02
Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until just set but still soft. Remove from pan and set aside.
- 03
Add the remaining oil to the same pan and fry the garlic until fragrant.
- 04
Add the tomatoes and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices.
- 05
Stir in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, and sugar.
- 06
Return the cooked eggs to the pan and gently toss everything together.
- 07
Garnish with green onions and white pepper, then serve immediately over hot jasmine rice.
Use very ripe tomatoes for a deeper, more flavorful sauce.
- ¶Add a splash of water if the sauce becomes too dry to ensure a nice coating over the rice.
