Step 1

Cut a shallow “X” in the bottom of each tomato. Prepare a large bowl of iced water.

Step 2

In a pot, boil enough water to completely submerge the tomatoes. Bring water to a boil.

Step 3

Add tomatoes to the pot, boil over high heat for 30 seconds.

Step 4

Immediately put the tomatoes into the ice bath.

Step 5

Once the tomatoes are completely cooled, peel off the skin easily.

Step 6

Cut tomatoes into halves, cut off the steam, then cut into wedges. I personally prefer small bite-sized tomatoes, so I'd cut the wedges in half again.

Step 7

Mince 1 garlic clove. Cut 1 green onion into thin pieces, separate the white parts and the green parts. Set aside.

Step 8

Crack 4-5 eggs into a bowl, add ½ tsp of salt, whisk thoroughly.

Step 9

Add 2 tbsps of cooking oil to a wok, heat up the oil over high heat for about 1 minute until you can feel the hot air above the wok. (The oil need to be hot enough to make the scrambled eggs fluffy and tender.)

Step 10

Add in the beaten eggs to stir fry over high heat for 30 seconds.

Step 11

Get the eggs out immediately after 30 seconds. They should be half cooked. You should be able to see some liquid egg in the middle. Set aside.

Step 12

The wok should be still hot now. Turn heat to medium high. Add 2 tbsps of cooking oil to the wok.

Step 13

Stir fry chopped garlic and the white part of a green onion for about 10 seconds until the garlic turns slightly yellow.

Step 14

Add in the tomato chunks. Mix all the ingredients well.

Step 15

Add in ½ tbsp of salt, 1 tbsp of light soy sauce, 2 tbsp of ketchup, 1/2 tbsp of sugar. If your tomatoes are not very juice and there's basically no sauce in the wok, you can optionally add in ¼ cup of vegetable stock or water. Mix all the ingredients well and let them boil for about 1 minutes.

Step 16

Add in the scrambled eggs. Break up large egg pieces into bite-size pieces. Stir fry for 30 seconds to let the eggs to absorb tomato soup.

Step 17

Turn off heat, plate, and garnish with the green part of a green onion.

Step 18

Enjoy with steamed rice.
