Instructions:
- Crack the 6 eggs into a bowl and beat them well. Set aside.
- Wash the tomatoes and cut them into medium-sized wedges.
- Peel and slice the onions thinly.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, pour in the beaten eggs. Stir gently to scramble the eggs until they are just set but still a bit runny. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Add the sliced onions and stir-fry until they become translucent and slightly golden, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the tomato wedges to the pan. Sprinkle the sugar over the tomatoes and onions.
- Stir-fry the tomatoes and onions together until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
- Return the scrambled eggs to the pan with the tomatoes and onions.
- Gently mix everything together, allowing the flavors to meld. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked and everything is heated through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You might want to add a pinch of salt or a dash of pepper to taste.
- Serve the stir-fried egg and tomato with onions hot, ideally with steamed rice or your preferred side dish.
Tips:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh and ripe tomatoes. Fresh ingredients make a noticeable difference in the outcome of the dish.
- Beat Eggs Thoroughly: Ensure the eggs are well-beaten to achieve a fluffy and light texture. This helps in making the eggs more absorbent to the tomato juices.
- Cook on Medium Heat: Stir-fry the ingredients on medium heat to avoid burning and to ensure even cooking. Adjust the heat as necessary to maintain a steady cooking pace.
- Add Onions Last: To keep the onions crunchy, add them last. This preserves their texture and adds a nice contrast to the softness of the eggs and tomatoes.
- Season to Taste: Feel free to adjust the sugar and seasoning according to your taste preference. You can also add a pinch of salt or other spices for additional flavor.
- Serve Immediately: For the best experience, serve the dish immediately while it's hot and fresh. This way, you can enjoy the full flavor and aroma of the stir-fried eggs, tomatoes, and onions.
You've now created a nutritious and satisfying stir-fried egg and tomato with onions dish. It serves as a versatile meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The combination of eggs, tomatoes, and onions provides a harmonious blend of flavors that is sure to please your palate.
