How to cook it
-
Cut the tomatoes into wedges.
-
Beat the eggs with a pinch of the salt until smooth and a little frothy.
-
Heat half the oil in a wok over medium-high heat, pour in the eggs, and let them puff up before gently scrambling into large, soft curds, about 1 minute, then remove to a plate.
-
Add the remaining oil to the wok and add the tomato wedges, sugar, and remaining salt.
-
Cook, stirring occasionally and pressing gently on the tomatoes, until they soften and release their juices into a light sauce, about 4 minutes.
-
Return the eggs to the wok and gently fold them into the tomato sauce, breaking the curds into large pieces, and warm through for 1 minute.
-
Drizzle with the sesame oil, scatter with scallions, and serve hot over the rice.
