“This is one of those dishes that every family has their version of, and they range quite a bit,” says Andrew Chiou of Lucky Danger Washington DC. Sometimes it’s simply scrambled eggs with diced tomato thrown in; other times, it’s more stewed down. In this version, which co-owner Tim Ma grew up with, everything is lightly sautéed together and wedges of beef-steak tomatoes maintain their texture, but it’s still saucy from the tomato juice.
