Place a wok over high heat until hot, add some edible oil, swirling to coat sides. Add in the beaten egg slowly when the oil is hot. Stir-fry it for 10-20 seconds until it sets and forms yellowish. Turn off the heat and cut the egg into chunks with the cooking ladle. Pick them out of the wok and put them into a plate.

STEP 2

Leave some cooking oil in the wok, swirling to coat the sides. Turn on the heat and add in the chopped green onion when the oil is hot. Stir-fry it for 10 seconds, add in the tomato chunks to be stir-fired for about 1 minute on high heat until you can see the tomato juice run. Add in the egg chunks to be stir-fired for 30 seconds more.
