Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 scallions
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 (1") piece ginger, peeled, cut into matchsticks
1½ pounds tomatoes (about 3 medium), cut into (1") pieces
2 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. white or regular soy sauce
Kosher salt (optional)
Toasted country-style bread or cooked rice or pasta (for serving)

Steps:

  • Trim dark green tops from scallions and thinly slice; set aside for serving. Finely chop remaining white and pale green parts. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium. Add white and pale green parts of scallions and ginger and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add tomatoes and cook, turning gently with a spoon, until juicy and just warmed through, about 2 minutes. Add soy sauce and toss to combine. Taste and season with kosher salt if needed. Top with reserved scallion greens.
  • Spoon tomatoes over toast and sprinkle with more salt if desired.
