Whisk 5 eggs in a bowl until little to no egg whites are visible, adding salt for flavor.

Cube 1.5 tomatoes to yield about 1 cup.

Heat 0.5 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat until it is hot and glistening.

Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook until about 80% done, ensuring the edges cook quickly and pushing the mixture towards the center for even cooking.

Remove the partially cooked eggs from the pan while they are still a little runny.

Add a little more oil to the pan, then add minced garlic and sauté for about a minute to release flavor.

Add the cubed tomatoes to the pan and cook for a few minutes until the water from the tomatoes is released and they soften.

Add 0.5 tablespoon of sugar to balance the tartness of the tomatoes.

Return the partially cooked eggs to the pan and mix everything together, turning off the stove to prevent overcooking the eggs.

Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately with boiled rice.
