The Method

1
Whisk eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper.
2
Dice the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
3
Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Add minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5
Add the diced tomatoes to the wok and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until they soften and release some of their juices. Add soy sauce and sugar (if using) and stir to combine.
6
Push the tomatoes to one side of the wok. Pour the whisked eggs into the empty space. Let the eggs cook for a few seconds, then gently scramble them with a spatula until they are cooked through but still slightly moist.
7
Combine the scrambled eggs and tomatoes together. Stir in the sliced scallions.
8
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic.

Serve with toast, rice, or congee for a more substantial breakfast.

You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to the stir-fry for extra flavor and nutrition.

Don't overcook the tomatoes; they should still have some texture.

If you don't like scrambled eggs, you can fry the eggs separately and place them on top of the tomato stir-fry.
