01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 2 tablespoons milk, optional
03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper

05 - 2 medium ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges

# Directions:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together eggs, milk if using, salt, and white pepper until fully incorporated.

03 - Add remaining 1 tablespoon neutral oil to the same skillet. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring to release aroma.
04 - Add tomato wedges to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring gently, until tomatoes begin to soften and release juices.
05 - Stir in soy sauce, sugar, and half the sliced scallions. Sauté for 1 additional minute to blend flavors.
