1 tablespoon ketchup
1/4 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons water
some parsley

METHOD
1. In a small bowl, stir cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water. Set aside.

2. Break the eggs into a bowl and use chopsticks to beat the eggs until they break thoroughly. Add salt, sesame oil, shaoxing wine, white pepper, and lightly beat to blend well. Set aside.

3. Add the chopped tomatoes to the wok and stir-fry. Add the ketchup, water and sugar and cornstarch mixture. Stir well until the mixture has thickened slightly. Remove and set aside
