Chinese Stir-Fried Eggs with Tomatoes
This recipe comes together quickly, so have all ingredients assembled and prepared before you start cooking. The eggs should be light golden brown on the bottom. Use a wand-style grater for the ginger and garlic. We liked the eggs with thinly sliced scallions, toasted sesame seeds and a drizzle of chili oil. To make it a quick dinner, serve over white rice.

Tip
Don't forget to seed the tomatoes. The pulp made the dish watery.

Fantastic, but too spicy
I loved this and will definitely make it again, but with half the red pepper flakes. I love spicy food, but 1/2tsp of red pepper flakes for this small amount of food was way too much IMO. The only change to the recipe I did was using 6 whole eggs and 2 whites to cut down a bit on cholesterol
Hi Jarrod -
We're not seeing the overlap. Can you be more specific? In Step 2, it instructs you to drain the tomatoes and heat 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet. In Step 3, you add the eggs to the pan and cook for 45-60 seconds and then remove to a plate. We'd love to fix this so let us know where you're seeing the duplication!
Best,
