Yield: 4

Materials

  • 1 small potato diced, washed and drained
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 medium tomato chopped
  • 3 tbsp oil vegetable or olive oil
  • 1/2 tbsp fish sauce optional
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 large eggs beaten

Instructions

  • 1. Heat oil in pan on medium-high heat. Put in the potatoes and fry for a bit until partly cooked.
  • 2. Saute the garlic for 30 seconds, then add the onions and tomatoes. Saute until soft. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 3. Scramble the eggs in a bowl and pour in the pan; Cook until partly set. Slowly run your spatula from the edges toward the center. Continue doing so until the eggs are up to preferred consistency. Serve hot on top of rice or on toast.

Notes

  • Garlic, onions, and tomatoes are the basic saute of most Filipino recipes
  • From these three you can add any other ingredient to pump up your eggs. Ham/spam, other ground meat, or even salad greens! The possibilities are endless.
  • Fish sauce is optional, this helps give that savory flavor to this egg dish.
