Instructions

1. Make Tomato and Egg Stir Fry:

• Whisk eggs with salt in a bowl; set aside.
• Heat wok on high until smoking hot, reduce to medium. Add 1 tablespoon oil, white scallion parts, and tomatoes. Stir briefly. Add salt, ketchup, sugar, and water. Cook about 2 minutes until softened. Add cornstarch slurry to thicken. Remove and set aside.
• In the same wok, heat 2 tablespoons oil on high until smoking, then medium. Pour in eggs and scramble until half cooked.
• Return tomato mixture and stir to combine. Add green scallion parts last. Serve immediately.

2. Make Tomato and Egg Rolls:

• Whisk eggs with diced tomato, scallions, salt, and sugar.
• Heat pan on low, add 1 tablespoon oil. Pour about 1 cup egg mixture, cook 2 minutes until half done.
• Roll egg halfway with spatula, slide to center. Add 1 tablespoon oil, pour ½ cup egg mixture at pan front.
• Repeat rolling and adding egg until all mixture is used. Remove and rest a few minutes before slicing.

3. Make Baked Tomato and Egg:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
• Cut tops off tomatoes, scoop centers out.
• Crack an egg into each tomato. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake 20 minutes or until eggs are set. Garnish with scallions.

Tips & notes

• Use fresh tomatoes for best flavor and texture in all recipes.
• Cornstarch slurry helps thicken sauces and keep the stir fry silky.
• Low and slow heat works well for the egg rolls to avoid burning and get a tender roll.
• Oven baking gives a unique texture with minimal fuss for the baked tomatoes and eggs.
