Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs beaten ($0.60)
  • 2 medium tomatoes roughly chopped ($0.60)
  • 1 stalk spring onion chopped ($0.10)
  • 1.50 tbsp tomato ketchup $0.093
  • 1 tsp sugar $0.006
  • salt to taste
  • water optional

Instructions
 

  • Beat eggs in a bowl and season with salt to taste. Roughly chop tomato to desired size.
  • Heat a frypan till hot, then add 1-2 tbsp of oil. Once the oil is hot, add beaten eggs into pan and slowly scramble the eggs with a spatula. Once the eggs have just set (no longer liquid), remove eggs from pan. Do not cook the eggs for too long as they will be cooked a second time.
  • In the same frypan, add a little more oil. Fry spring onions till fragrant.
  • Add tomatoes & salt to taste. The salt helps to draw out water from the tomatoes, speeding up the cooking process. Stir fry for a minute then cover with a lid. Reduce the heat and let tomatoes cook for 2-3 minutes, until desired softness.
  • Remove lid. Add tomato ketchup & sugar, then stir fry. Add some water if you prefer more sauce.
  • Return eggs to pan and mix evenly with tomatoes. Once well-mixed, remove tomatoes & eggs and serve with rice.
