Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare all ingredients: dice the tomatoes into small cubes, beat the eggs in a bowl with salt and pepper, and chop the green onion.

  2. 2

    Heat a non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.

  3. 3

    Add the diced tomatoes to the hot pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices.

  4. 4

    Add the garlic powder and soy sauce to the tomatoes, stirring to combine. Cook for another 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Lower the heat to medium and pour the beaten eggs into the pan with the tomatoes.

  6. 6

    Using a spatula, gently fold and scramble the eggs with the tomatoes, allowing them to cook slowly for a creamier texture. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

  7. 7

    When the eggs are about 80% cooked (still slightly wet), sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and gently fold it in.

  8. 8

    Remove from heat while the eggs are still soft and creamy. The residual heat will finish cooking them.

  9. 9

    Drizzle the sesame oil over the dish and garnish with chopped green onions.

  10. 10

    Serve immediately with steamed rice or Korean side dishes for an authentic experience.
