Ingredient Notes

The main ingredients include eggs, fish sauce, scallions, and tomatoes. For a vegetarian option, substitute fish sauce with soy sauce. Use any fresh tomatoes, like Roma or cherry, and opt for organic eggs for better taste.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil.
  2. Sauté 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes and 1/4 cup chopped scallions until soft.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently stir until softly scrambled, about 3-4 minutes.

Things I’ve Learned

To prevent the eggs from overcooking, remove them from heat while they are still slightly runny. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on low heat to maintain texture.
