Eggs: eggs are the star of the dish! I love using fresh farm eggs Salt and white pepper: salt and white pepper gently season the eggs
Garlic: minced garlic adds a savory aromatic garlic flavor. Green Onion: chopped green onion adds another aromatic, sweet, and peppery flavor.
Roma Tomatoes: Roma tomatoes have a mild, tangy flavor that is slightly sweeter than other varieties. They also are firm and hold their shape when cooked.
Ketchup: ketchup adds a sweet, tangy, and umami flavor that highlights the Roma tomatoes. Oyster Sauce: oyster sauce adds a sweet, salty, and savory component.
Brown Sugar: brown sugar gently sweetens and balances out the salty and tangy flavors. Sesame Oil: toasted sesame oil adds an umami, nutty finish.
Cornstarch: cornstarch acts as a thickener to thicken up the tomato juices and savory sauce so that all the flavor doesn’t run off from the eggs and tomatoes.
