  1. 1

    Beat the eggs with the 1/4 teaspoon of salt until the yolks and whites are one color, not foamy.

  2. 2

    Heat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high. Pour in the eggs. When the bottom sets, fold them gently into large curds. Take them out while they are still a little wet. They will finish in the tomatoes.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, cook the tomatoes with the 1/2 teaspoon of salt until they soften and give up juice, about 4 minutes. If they taste sharp, stir in the honey. If the pan is dry, add 2 tablespoons of water.

  4. 4

    Return the eggs and the scallions. Fold once or twice, until the eggs are just cooked and coated in the tomato juice. White pepper. Serve with rice. Do not keep stirring until the eggs turn to crumbs.

From the kitchen

  • Ripe tomatoes are the dish. Hard winter tomatoes need the honey and a little more time, and they will still taste like winter.
  • There is no sesame oil at the end. The scallion is the fresh note.
