Stir-fried tomatoes with eggs

Stir-fried tomatoes with eggs is a favorite childhood dish which my mum used to cook for the family.  Though it is a simple dish but the combination of both the tomatoes and eggs are simply tasty and yummy.  This is also one common dish served in all 'Fast Food Stalls", which is also a favorite dish of my family today.

Ingredients:
4 tomatoes (washed and sliced)
2 eggs (add more if you prefer)
2 tsp light soya sauce
2 shallots (peeled and thinly sliced)
3 cloves garlic (peeled and chopped)
1 tsp chicken stock granules (to taste)
Dash of sugar (optional - in case if the tomatoes are too sour)
Dash of salt (if needed)
Cooking oil
Water (for cooking)

Methods:
  1. Crack the eggs into a small bowl, add light soya sauce and lightly beat to mix.
  2. In a heated wok, add  1 tbsp of cooking oil, add the beaten eggs, stir to break up the egg and dish out into a plate.  Do not overcooked the egg.
  3.  In the same wok, add in 2 tbsp of cooking oil, add in shallots and garlic and stir fry  until fragrant.
  4. Add the tomatoes, give it a toss, then add in chicken stock granules, sugar (if used), stir to mix and add some water. Amount of water depends on how soupy you prefers your dish to be. We also have to bear in mind that tomatoes contain water, thus it will generate extra water to the dish.
  5. Taste for correct seasonings, add salt if needed.
  6. Once the tomatoes are cooked, add the egg and stir to combine both the ingredients.
  7. Off the heat and serve it in a deep plate.
  8. Ready to serve with hot fluffy rice.
