Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of hot water with the chicken stock granules and stir until fully dissolved.
  2. Add the diced onion and tomato to the stock mixture and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  3. Stir in the soy sauce, tomato ketchup, and salt, mixing well to create a uniform sauce base.
  4. Reduce the heat to low so the liquid is just barely simmering, not boiling vigorously.
  5. Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the sauce while gently stirring in one direction to create silky ribbons.
  6. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are set but still tender.
  7. Remove from heat and serve immediately over rice, noodles, or chicken.
