3. Heat up skillet on high heat, add cooking oil, then pour eggs into skillet, cook until eggs are firm. Meantime, keep stirring so eggs will break into pieces. Put cooked eggs back to the bowl, set aside.

4. Add cooking oil to skillet, keep cooking on high heat. Add tomatoes into skillet, add salt, sugar and some pepper to taste, cook until tomatoes get tender and the juice get thick.

It tastes better when you add more sugar compare to regular dish. My goal is cook it with a sour and sweet taste.
