Cook tomato until it releases juice so cabbage picks up tang before eggs go in.

Steps

How to make it

Prep 7 min · Cook 9 min

  1. Dice tomato 1; slice cabbage 130 g; beat 2 eggs; mince 2 garlic cloves. Have a pinch of salt and 0.5 tsp soy sauce ready.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; sauté garlic 20 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add tomato; stir-fry over medium heat 2 minutes until slightly soft and juicy, skins curling.
  4. Add cabbage and stir-fry 2 minutes until slightly softened and edges translucent but still crisp.
  5. Push vegetables to the side, pour in eggs; over low heat wait for edges to set, then gently push into soft curds with a spatula (about 1 minute).
  6. Toss everything together; drizzle with soy sauce and salt. Serve when eggs are half-set and silky with clear garlic aroma.

Tips & storage

Make it easier

  • Lower heat after eggs for a softer scramble.
  • Drain vegetables well before cooking; excess water steams them and softens the texture.

Same meal best; egg leftovers within 1 day refrigerated.

FAQ

Will tomato make it soggy?

Reduce juices after tomato softens.

Good with rice?

Very—sweet-sour and savory.

What should I do if the vegetables release water?

Drain them well and cook in batches so the pan stays hot instead of turning the vegetables soft and watery.
