Ingredients
4 medium tomatoes, chopped
3 eggs
1 tsp white pepper
Salt, to taste
2.5 tbsp ketchup
1.5 tbsp soy sauce
2 green onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp dashi powder (optional)
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp cold water
1 bowl cooked rice
Oil for cooking
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Eggs
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, white pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2: Scramble the Eggs
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan or pot over medium-high heat.
Pour in the eggs and let them set for about 30 seconds.
Gently scramble until just cooked.
Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
Step 3: Cook the Tomatoes
In the same pan, add the chopped tomatoes, white parts of the green onions, and garlic.
Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.
Step 4: Season the Sauce
Stir in the ketchup, soy sauce, dashi powder (if using), and additional white pepper.
Mix well until combined.
Step 5: Combine Everything
Return the scrambled eggs to the pan and stir gently for 30 seconds.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
Pour the slurry into the pan and simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 6: Add the Rice
Add the cooked rice and green onions.
Toss everything together until evenly coated and heated through.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Use day-old rice for the best texture.
Dashi powder adds extra umami flavor but can be omitted for a fully vegetarian version.
Adjust soy sauce and ketchup to your taste preference.
Add chili oil or fresh chilies for a spicy variation.
This recipe works great with jasmine rice or short-grain rice.
