A fast meal of eggs scrambled with tomatoes, and then seasoned with some salt, sugar, and soy sauce. This was the very first recipe I cooked, with a little help from my parents...I think I was about 5 or 6 at the time. Eat as it is, or serve over rice.

Noone liked these. That's the best thing I could say about this recipe.

I've noticed several people confused about the sugar...it's not for the eggs but the tomatoes. This is a traditional Chinese dish. I am not Chinese but I've had it in many places in China and learned to make this from a Chinese girl. They even substitute ketchup for tomatoes sometimes.

My family always put sugar in eggs so I liked that although the soy sauce was a bit strange in this dish. I probably would have preferred to leave that out and just add mozarella cheese to the egg/tomato mix instead.

wow it is so good. i never used sugar in this recipe before. i think i will keep it as the secret ingredient from now on.: D

MMM. This was so good. I ate mine over rice with some extra soy sauce. Next time I will add some onions and maybe shrimp or chicken.

I made it but couldn't bring myself to actually eat it. Thanks anyway.

Delicious! I served the dish with rice. The only thing I changed was adding 2 more eggs. I had scaled the recipe up to 4 servings and 4 tomatoes chopped just seemed like too much. With the 6 eggs it was perfect. I suppose the amount of tomatoes depends on the size of the tomato you are using as well as personal preference. This is just like a dish my mother used to make all the time when I was growing up. My husband was surprised to learn this is a common chinese dish and I was surprised he liked it!

sounds simple but wow are these some great eggs!

I love eggs and tomato served on steamed rice.
