Ingredients
- dried noodles — 250 g
- eggs — 3 large, beaten
- tomatoes — 2 medium, cut into wedges
- scallions — 2 stalks, chopped
- soy sauce — 1.5 tbsp
- salt — 1/2 tsp
- sugar — 1/2 tsp
- cooking oil — 2.5 tbsp
Steps (beginner-friendly)
- Boil the noodles in a pot of water for 3-4 minutes until just tender, then drain and rinse briefly under cold water so they don't clump.
- Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok over high heat, scramble the eggs for 30 seconds until just set, and remove to a plate.
- Add 1 tbsp oil, then the tomato wedges. Stir-fry 3 minutes over medium-high heat, pressing them, until they break down into a saucy pulp.
- Add the noodles, 1.5 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp sugar.
- Toss constantly with tongs for 2 minutes until the noodles are evenly coated and steaming hot.
- Return the eggs, break them into pieces, toss 30 seconds more.
- Turn off the heat, top with scallions, and serve.
Tip: Rinse drained noodles briefly so they don't stick together.
