Use ripe roma tomatoes for the best flavor, avoiding crunchy hard tomatoes.

Use a ratio of 80 grams of tomato per egg as a starting point.

Heat a non-stick skillet and add a little oil.

7

Add the tomatoes to the hot skillet and turn up the heat.

8

Season the tomatoes with soy sauce and brown sugar, then mix.

Cook the tomatoes until they are soft and juicy, stirring occasionally.

Once the tomatoes are soft but still holding shape, turn off the heat and set them aside.

Wipe the skillet to prevent burning from the sugar.

Add the cooked tomatoes back into the skillet with the eggs and toss quickly until the eggs are fully cooked.
