For a vegetarian version, simply omit the pork. You can also add a splash of rice vinegar for extra tanginess. Serve hot over steamed rice for a complete and satisfying meal. If you don't have brandy, you can substitute with dry sherry or Chinese cooking wine.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a bowl, combine the pork strips with soy sauce, brandy, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and cornstarch. Ensure the pork is well-coated. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. (Marinating time: 4-6 hours)
02
StepWhisk the eggs with salt in a separate bowl until light and frothy. Set aside. Heat half of the canola oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just beginning to set but are still slightly soft. Remove from the wok and set aside. (Cooking time: 2-3 minutes)
03
StepHeat the remaining canola oil in the wok over high heat. Add the chopped tomatoes and the remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar. Cover the wok and allow the tomatoes to simmer until they have softened and released their juices. (Simmering time: 7 minutes)
04
StepUsing the back of a spoon, gently mash some of the tomatoes to create a slightly thickened, chunky sauce. Stir in the marinated pork and cook until it is no longer pink and is cooked through. (Cooking time: 3-4 minutes)
05
StepGently fold the cooked eggs into the tomato and pork mixture. Add the chopped green onions and stir to combine. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the eggs to warm through. (Cooking time: 2 minutes)
