Method
 

How to Make Easy Tomato and Egg Rice
  1. In a bowl, whisk together eggs with white pepper and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  2. Heat cooking oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Pour in whisked eggs and scramble for about 30 seconds, then remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add chopped tomatoes, green onion whites, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until tomatoes soften.
  4. Stir in ketchup, soy sauce, and dashi powder (if using). Season with white pepper and let it simmer for a minute.
  5. Gently fold scrambled eggs back into the pot, mixing to add creamy texture.
  6. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with cold water until smooth, then pour into the pan while stirring. Simmer for another 2 minutes.
  7. Add cooked rice and remaining green onions to the pot. Mix well until rice is heated through. Serve hot.
