Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 2 large ripe tomatoes, quartered

  • 2 cups water, or more as needed

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 tablespoons minced green onion

  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil (Optional)

  • 1 pinch white sugar, or to taste

  • salt to taste

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes; saute until mostly melted, 5 to 10 minutes. Add water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors are well blended, 5 to 10 minutes. Add eggs, stirring slowly and constantly for 1 minute. Add green onion; cook for 30 seconds. Stir in sesame oil, sugar, and salt.

Cook's Notes:

Make sure the tomato melts, and don't let the eggs agglomerate.

Tofu may be substituted for eggs for a vegan version.
