~ingredients:
- 4-5 small/medium tomatoes
- 2 green onion (cut into 1-2 inch wedges)
- 1 lb chicken thighs (diced or sliced)
- chicken marinade: 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1/2 tsp white pepper, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp corn starch, 1 tsp baking soda
- 5 eggs
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp shaoxing wine
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 tsp corn starch (optional)
- oil for cooking
~instructions:
- Mix the marinade ingredients listed above and marinate the chicken for minimum 30 minutes.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, and add white pepper, shaoxing wine, salt, and sesame oil. Mix and set aside.
- Heat up a wok on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, pour in the egg mixture.
- Cook the eggs by pushing the edges in, until the eggs are about 60% cooked. Then, using your spatula, break up the eggs into pieces until about 80% cooked. Turn off the fire and remove, set aside.
- In the same wok, on high heat, add some more oil. Once hot, add the chicken in a single layer.
- Let the chicken sear for a minute before flipping and cook on the other side for another minute. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes, or until chicken is 80% cooked. Remove and set aside.
- In the same wok, on medium high heat, add some more oil. Once the wok starts smoking, add the tomatoes and green onion. Stir fry for a minute, you’ll see liquid come out from the tomatoes.
- Add in sugar, ketchup and 1/2 cup of water. (Note: Optional 1/2 tsp of corn starch can be added to the water to make a corn starch slurry if you want a thicker sauce)
- Stir-fry for another 30 seconds, and you can also smush some of the tomatoes to release more liquid.
- Add the eggs, followed by the chicken.
- Stir-fry to coat everything in the sauce, and cook until tomatoes are soft. Turn off the heat.
- Serve over rice, enjoy!
