Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
  • 6-8 eggs
  • 6-8 Roma tomatoes or vine-ripened, diced
  • 1 very large bunch of cilantro, finely chopped
  • 6-8 large pieces of garlic, thinly sliced
  • 6 tbsp canola or vegetable oil, divided
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1½ tbsp soy sauce
  • ¾ tsp salt
Instructions
  1. In a large non-stick skillet, add 3 tbsp olive oil and crack the eggs into the oil. Use a wooden spoon to gently scramble the eggs as they cook. Cook until the eggs are softly cooked with browning spots. Set aside.
  2. In a 2-quart or bigger saucepan, saute the sliced garlic in the remaining 3 tbsp of oil. Only cook until it is fragmented and a few pieces are just barely starting to brown. Quickly add in the tomatoes and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the tomatoes have broken down.
  3. At this point add the sugar, soy sauce, and salt.
  4. Next, add the eggs back in and add the cilantro. Stir well and taste. Add more sugar or soy sauce if necessary.
  5. Serve over rice.
  6. This meal is traditionally eaten cold, but we enjoy it warm/hot. Try it both ways to see what you like.
  7. Enjoy!
