Instructions
Step 1: Cook Tomatoes
Heat pan over medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon oil
Add sliced tomatoes into pan
Add ½ teaspoon sugar (optional)
Add chicken stock or water
Add Sauce Mixture
Stir tomatoes occasionally and cook for roughly 3 minutes or until they are tender
Give a quick stir to the potato starch water, then add it to the pan little by little, stir as you go, to thicken the sauce
Remove tomatoes with the sauce and set aside
Step 2: Cook Eggs
Heat a dry, clean pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon oil
Add eggs mixture into pan
Stir and cook until slightly undercooked (still a bit watery)
Add the cooked tomatoes and sauce into pan
Turn off the heat and add green onions
Stir a few times and serve!
Notes
As you are adding the potato starch water to thicken the sauce, don’t pour all the mixture into the pan all at once. You don’t want the sauce to be too thick. Taste and adjust to your preference. Just remember that the sauce will be thicker as it cools.
For best smooth eggs, in step 2, add in the tomatoes when the eggs are still slightly watery and more undercooked than you’d preferred. Plus, the eggs are still being cooked on the plate when it’s served.
