Method

  1. Continue cooking — You can use chicken broth in place of the chicken bouillon powder.
  2. Add ingredients — Add 1/4 cup of broth followed by 2 teaspoons of cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoPrepare the tomatoes:
  3. Continue cooking — Slice the tomatoes in half. Remove the tough stem from each half that connects to the vine.
  4. Continue cooking — Cut each half into equal thirds (you’ll get 6 slices from each tomato).
  5. Add ingredients — Make the soft scrambled eggs: In a cold, 8 to 10-inch nonstick skillet, add the vegetable oil and beaten eggs.
  6. Heat the pan — Turn the heat to medium. Once a thin layer of eggs is just beginning to cook on the bottom, push the eggs in one direction to create layers of scrambled eggs.
  7. Stir — Cook, gently stirring the whole time, until the scramble eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet and shiny, 2 to 5 minutes.
  8. Continue cooking — Remove the eggs to a plate and, if needed, wipe out the pan.
  9. Fry — Stir-fry the tomatoes and seasonings: Add the sesame oil to the pan followed by the tomatoes and stir-fry over medium heat until the tomatoes are softened but not mushy, about 3 minutes.
  10. Add ingredients — Add the chicken bouillon powder, sugar, and white pepper.
  11. Continue cooking — Toss until combined and the sugar and bouillon have dissolved, about 1 minute.
  12. Fry — Add eggs, stir-fry, and garnish: Add the eggs back to the pan with the tomatoes.
