Seasonings and Condiments:
- 2.5 tablespoons (37.5 ml) ketchup
- 1.5 tablespoons (22.5 ml) soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Whisk eggs with a pinch of white pepper and salt in a mixing bowl until well combined.
- Heat oil in a pot over medium heat, pour in eggs and let them set for 30 seconds, then gently scramble until just cooked. Transfer scrambled eggs to a separate plate.
- In the same pot, add chopped tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat until they start to break down and release their juices.
- Introduce white parts of green onions to the pot, sauté for 1-2 minutes until they become soft and translucent.
- Incorporate ketchup, soy sauce, and white pepper, stirring thoroughly to create a cohesive sauce.
- Pour in stock and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Carefully add back the scrambled eggs and noodles, allowing them to cook together for 2 minutes until noodles are tender.
- Garnish with chopped green onion tops, ladle into serving bowls, and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Customize egg texture by whisking more or less for different scrambled egg consistency in the soup.
- Select ripe, juicy tomatoes for deeper flavor profile and natural sweetness.
- Control sodium levels by using low-sodium stock and adjusting soy sauce quantity.
- Elevate protein content by adding shredded chicken or tofu for dietary flexibility.
