Chinese Style Tomato and Egg Stir Fry

A coworker who came to study in the U.S. from China sometimes brings this to work for lunch, and she made it sound so comforting and tasty that I wanted to try it for myself. It's apparently a very popular home cooked dish in China, and can be eaten for any meal of the day.

Notes:

  • I ended up using garlic chives from my garden because I didn't have any scallions in the house at the time I had all the other ingredients.
  • I used freshly picked summer tomatoes and I imagine that's what this tastes best with.
  • I do not have a wok so I used a nonstick skillet on medium-high heat.

Verdict: It was quick, easy, and satisfying. It strikes me as a late summer version of Niratama Donburi, which I love. I would happily make and eat this again.
