man I literally eat this every day for breakfast, and this bid made it sound like a 5 star restaurant stuff....

I worked at a restaurant the trick to top off at the end is 5 table spoon of ketchup and table spoon of dark soy sauce. It gives ketchup adds sweetness and the soy cuts down the sugar and adds umami flavor to it. It will taste like a restraunt.

A more authentic way to make the Chinese tomato egg is frying the egg first, fry the tomato separately, then add the egg to the tomatoes and fry them together once more! Believe me it will be more delicious!

I recommend heirloom tomatoes, so juicy, no water needed. We usually stir fry the egg first. It also goes with noodles.

I'd season the tomatoes AND the egg and then and probably add chilli oil and adobo to level it up!

this is very similar to Turkish menemem! I’m obsessed.

We eat something like this with yam for breakfast in Nigeria

Filipinos (I'm in Tagalog region) would make something similar we call it Sarciado and most of the times we pair it with fried fish.. Affordable and filling dish.. so delicious! 😊

This and spam are my dishes to eat when there’s nothing to eat

it’s cool seein other cultures chiming in with similar dishes and only an ingredient or two difference. Food brings ppl together! 🙌

I’m more of a fan of eggs being fluffy than being soupy when it comes to this dish. Balances out the textures and I know which part I’m eating. I don’t want to just eat chunks of tomatoes.

I had something similar for the first time and I was blown away yummmmmm

I made something similar like this on Sunday. I added tuna, bell peppers, white and green onions and jasmine rice! Yummy!!! 😋🍅🍳🧄🫑🌶️🧅🐟🍚👌🏾👍🏾

In Mexico we have a similar dish. We do tomato, serrano/jalapeño, onion and egg. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tips: I like to peel the tomatoes by quickly covering it with hot water until a very thin skin just slides right off. Add KETCHUP! It will add tomato flavor and make the dish better. Use sushi rice. Sushi rice or any round rice is the only rice i'll ever love, because of the chewiness and mild flavor.

Ahhhh my favorite dish I have not seen or eat it after my grandpa has passed 😢😢😢😢 thank you for making this video know I will try to make it myself I know it’s good too yummy is like eggs last time I though it was mayonnaise until my grandpa told me to try it because I only like to eat some mayonnaise some of them I feel like throwing up I miss my grandpa. The ways she said I love this dish BUT NOT ALWAYS!!!!!!😂

I made this already and it's the best❤

Other than the various recipes, this is one of the classic Chinese dishes that's best prepared using a smoking hot wok, lots of oil, and msg. I've made this using different methods, Western nonstick pans, induction stoves etc. None of them resulted in silky smooth and delicate yet with somewhat browned layer of egg skin on the outside, accompanied with tart yet sweet saucy tomatoes. My tip is to ook them separately, first egg, then tomatoes, then add together. Optionall, add a dash of ketchup and a sprinkle of sugar in addition to salt, msg, and spring onions. No sesame oil as that overpowers the flavor. Control your heat. Eggs- high, tomatoes- med, together- low, basically just stirring them together in the end.

THAT LOOKS SO GOOD AND SO SIMPLE TO MAKE. OMW TO MAKE THAT FOR DINNER

“Egg and Tomato” sounds better for those on either end of the naming debate.

It perfectly matches with rice . Even my grandma came up with this idea❤

Man finally some real Chinese food. 1.3 billion people eat tomato eggs it’s literally the most authentic

I have everything to make this dish except day old rice. So I will make fresh rice to go with this. I am going to cook this today. Love Chinese food. So yummy and healthy

I love that my first reaction was hey that’s not how grandma makes it!! You know, like how different everybody’s ‘authentic’ can be - like, that rice isn’t short grain rice that I grew up with, you vibe?

Wow, that looks so good! I'll be making this for sure! 👍

I've made this a couple times and I love it. Very tasty!

My dad always makes this for breakfast on the weekends 😋

I always remember my mom for this. And I'm still always eating it! Perfect with steamed rice!

Love this. I add onions and green capsicum to make it taste and look even better!

bro this stuff hits hard especially for ke bc my grandpa makes this and it tastes so good. i love my grandpa and the delicious food he makes ❤❤❤

Dude! That looks so good!

We call it „Menemen“ in Turkey

This meal looks absolutely delicious. 😋💜

Omg... This is my def of comfort food... Its practically one of the most common asian homemade food 👍🏼✨

I swear this is legit making me drool 😅❤❤😮

oooh im definitely gonna try putting the egg straight in with the tomato next time! i've always cooked egg first, taken it out, and re-added it in at the end

Mmmmm!!! That looks good!!! 👍👍👍👍

Omg I *LOVE* this dish I legit grew up with it I eat it like 3 times a week or sth

The first proper-cooking dish I ever learned! :D

Not Chinese but yea my mom makes this and I love it so much... And that I grew eating this I also make this often...

ive done this before its so good

I tasted this it was wonderful❤

Love the rice in a bowl 😮

Its my fav dish, since my whole family is chinese we eat this like 2 times a week lol

I made the same It was amazinggggggggg

Wow I ended up here before the thumbnail had even loaded

*_You’re a wonderful cook. Who agree with me?_* 😋😋😋😋

Thank you for the update, Tasty..!! Excellent tomato egg..!!

Trying this out for dinner tonight

this is really interesting since my family makes it differently. we make the eggs more scrambled, and putting them in first. then others things after.

Always tasty food thank you for sharing❤👍

Lovely childhood dish indeed. It goes well with vinegar or fish sauce

so authentic!

in my culture we have something similar but we add onions and tomato finely chopped and then egg scrambled we usually eat it with bread though but ive tried to with rice and its so good

I lived in Guangzhou and i miss this dish sooo much. Tmr I'm gonna make it my own 😌

Love it!❤

One thing I recommend is to fry the egg without stirring until it's a bit crispy then put tomato in, eggs will taste way more fragrance.

I just found out this is a chineese dish! Im from Poland and I'm eating this since my childhood

My freshman year roommate in college made this for me and they also made hotpot. It was the best. I have been wanting to try to make it haha

I have to try this. I keep seeing it all over shorts and I have never tried it

Wow!! Looks delicious. It's very similar to a Greek dish called Strapatsada!!

I love eggs with yomatos

This is my childhood food but we make it differently

I'm hooked on tomatoes and eggs! I've never seen it on a menu before, I just make my own

En Venezuela comemos lo mismo y le llamamos Perico pero le echamos cebolla también

Pro tip!! Freeze your tomatoes before cooking it makes you tomato egg rice extra juicy and soupy

I like to drink the sauce as soup. It's pretty good.

This makes me wanna go to China even more

The way you described the rice felt transcendent

The way this shorts was filmed reminded me of TheKoreanVegan on TikTok! 😍

Delicious !

I like adding diced onions.

If you’re from Ph you definitely tried this… It’s a breakfast dish oftentimes we add corned beef to add more protein and flavor

We eat something similar with bread in morroco

In Egypt we call this Shakshooka!

In mauritius we call it rougaille oeuf & we make it spicy!

It’s like Moroccan bm (bayd/egg ou/and matisha/tomato)

I like it the same way.

In iraq we eat this too, its really good but we eat it with rice and also we put white onions with it ❤

I used to do a salsa and egg like this lol

So I’m not Chinese but in my culture eggs and tomatoes is a big breakfast food and it is so frickin good and comforting

Lovely dish 🥰🥰🥰

Looks delicious 😅

I make this with onion. Perfect breakfast

Finally this dish gets recognition. We Armenians really like this :))

This is my breakfast on most days with a little bread

The only thing missing from this dish is some of the dried (then pan-toasted with a little oil) little anchovies (江魚仔), as a garnish. Hint, you can add the garlic salt to the anchovies, as you're toasting them, or not.

theres no chinese dish more authentic and legit than tomato and egg

I'm Chinese and my dad makes this a lot when there is nothing to eat. He usually uses 1 egg and puts a bit of ketchup and lots of tomatoes, I don't eat it but i will eat the plain rice

this is just like brazilian omelete!

I always remove the white stuff near the yolk, it s something the roster put there

Facts

I love that dish too but I add cheese

Delicious

I didn't know that this recipe is a Chinese dish not until I watch this vid. My mom used to cook this like twice and maybe thrice in a week mostly for breakfast that I thought this is a fairly common dish.

In Armenia we have this too

i scarmble the eggs first and boil+peel the tomatoes then dice and then put them together in a pan, i also like to add salt and sugar

It's known as "egg bhurji" in India, grew up having with my mom making it

As a chinese，I suppose the dish you make is quite distinct from most chinese household typically make.

We do that too, but we add red onions to it, we pour the scrambled egg, and put the chopped tomatoes, much smaller chops at the red onions, pepper and salt for seasoning, that's all
