Tomato and egg stir-fry is a classic home-cooked dish. When made just right—soft, juicy, and not too watery—it's the perfect companion to rice. The silky eggs blend with the tomatoes, creating a rich, tangy-sweet flavor that melts in your mouth. Juicy, tender, and full of flavor, this dish turns everyday ingredients into a delicious meal and is also great for lunchboxes. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene and antioxidants, which help eliminate free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage. Lycopene is fat-soluble, so cooking tomatoes with oil helps your body absorb it better. This popular dish is both nutritious and tasty—perfect with rice, noodles, or as a lunchbox side. A perfect everyday recipe.

Steps

1

Prepare all the ingredients.
2

Wash and chop the tomatoes. Crack the eggs into a bowl. Wash and chop the green onions.
3

Beat the eggs. Heat a pan and add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. Pour in the eggs and scramble until just half-cooked, then remove 2/3 of the eggs and set aside. (For creamier eggs, you can add 1 tablespoon milk and 1 teaspoon soy sauce to the eggs before cooking.)
4

Add a little more oil to the same pan. Add the chopped tomatoes and 1/3 of the scrambled eggs. Stir-fry briefly, then reduce to low heat, cover, and cook for 2-3 minutes.
5

After 2-3 minutes, uncover the pan. The tomatoes should be soft and juicy. Add the remaining 2/3 of the eggs and the ketchup. Cook for 1 minute to let the flavors blend.
6

Stir the tomatoes and eggs together until well mixed.
7

Add the seasonings and sprinkle with the reserved green onions. Serve immediately.
