Hi Shane,
We add onions and green chillies or adash of chilli powder to make it spicy but no sugar please. I make like this, fry the onions till they are transparent add gchopped green chillies and tomatoes, then add eggs and scramble. Only salt we add, no sugar. If I have some grated coconut in hand I add that also. It makes out a nice side dish for phulkas and plain, hot steaming rice and curry of course.

That dish sounds very interesting and easy to make. I will try it but what if you don't have a Wok? Would a regular pan do?

In Slovakia scrambled eggs are done:
2, 3 or 4 eggs ( depends on how much are you hungry :) )
little salt (or none ... again it`s up to yuo how much salt do you usually use)
1 middle sized onion
oil
Shell the onion and chop it to small pieces.
Pour little oil on the pan (or wok) and get oil hot.
Add chopped onion and some salt. Roast it for a while ...
Then beat the eggs into and stir them unitl they are little scrambled.
Eat with bread ... and fresh vegetables ... you can also add sme tomato ketchup ...
all is on your taste.
We also eat boiled eggs with salt and bread with butter
Have A Nice FuNnY Day !

We also do the same in the Philippines, but without the water and sugar. We saute the tomatoes until they're partly wilted, and then add the beaten eggs, then season it with salt. It's more of like just another way to cook eggs, like friend, or poached, or hardboiled. SOmetimes we even saute onion and tomatoes then add eggs.

I never knew that was a chinese dish. When I was young my mom used to cook that. Sometimes she replaces the tomatoes with either onion or hunts pork and beans. It's a very delicious recipe. I will cook that for my family. Thanks for posting now you reminded me on how good it tasted. :)

This is omelette in Australia. I do the tomato and onion version. Scrabled eggs is plain...beat the eggs with a little milk and stir continuously over a low heat in a saucepan.
Another version of the omelette is 2 or 3 eggs, beaten, chop up a quarter green capsicum and chop some left over cooked chicken, pour the beaten egg in to a pan, sprinkle over the capsicum, then the chicken, pepper and salt and then sprinkle grated, tasty cheese on top. Cook slowly till cheese is melted and bubbling.
This is so tasty and quite a satisfying meal. It's great if you want something quick and easy on toast at night.

Scrambled eggs with tomato is a very common Chinese dish, but it's full of nutritions. I cook it a little different than you. I will add tomatoes at first and then add scrambled eggs. I will add sugar as I like it to be sweet. Sometimes we will add a sliced of ginger inside.

That looks interesting. Scrambled eggs are common here (United States), but I have never seen sugar added to them. That would give them a different taste, I think. I've had them with tomatoes except they don't have the broth that it looks like the ones in the picture do. It's just the scrambled eggs with chopped tomatoes added after cooking instead of during cooking. Sometimes onions or other vegetables get added too.
