One of my favorites dishes growing up was stewed tomatoes and scrambled eggs. Our family has grown and canned their own tomatoes since I was a child. I have loved tomatoes of all types even then. I'd tell my grandma that I was hungry while they were all canning and she would scramble a couple eggs and take a ladle of the simmering stewed tomatoes (usually they had a bit of celery/onions/bell pepper too) right on the almost done eggs. Then send me and my bowl out to the porch to get out from underfoot. My mother would also make this dish when tomatoes started ripening up. Now that I'm the grandma and can the tomatoes I have been putting stewed tomatoes in the little 8 or 10 oz canning jars for my own small breakfasts. I had not seen any other family make eggs this way until most of these great Asian chefs started putting out videos. I can almost taste this! Lol

This is one of those classic dishes you can find in pretty much every chinese restaurant, super easy to make yourself... Yet incredibly hard to truly master ! I've once eaten one in a little nameless street restaurant in Wuzheng in China, a decade ago, and it was probably the best one I've ever eaten in my life ! Nowhere else, except maybe in a restaurant in Taiwan, could I ever find such a good one. Been trying to replicate it for years, without ever fully getting to its quality, although I feel like I got pretty close, so I'm fairly satisfied. I like to add a little bit of cooking wine in the tomatoes during the stir fry, to give it a little extra kick. Works wonder ! Add on top of it all some green onions for beautiful color contrast between the red, the yellow and the green, and the crunchiness and voilà ! Glad to see your dad's version, just by the glistening of the sauce and the moist consistency of the egg, I could already tell it's top notch.

Interesting, I cook it a different way. I cook tomatoes first, and just simmer the water away instead of cornstarch to give it a stronger tomato flavor, then I mix in eggs and actually cook on low heat like scrambled eggs, taking it off heat when still slightly gooey, letting the residual heat cook the rest of the way. I also season my eggs with a splash of tsuyu (shirodashi also works) and a squeeze from japanese garlic tubes to give the eggs some sweetness and flavor. I'll also top it off with cut green onions, and if I'm lazy I'll just use pre cut frozen ones. I generally like to use garlic more than ginger, but eager to try a different way to this dish!

Ok absolutely love your dad. He is so endearing and a wealth of knowledge. This is the first time I feel confident enough to make Chinese food. I used to work in a Chinese food restaurant strictly packing orders and delivery. The Jung family had such a busy restaurant that I had no time to really watch how they cooked their food, and the cooks were so busy. After leaving the restaurant for a career in nursing I always came back and ordered from the restaurant. Unfortunately, Mr Yic Jung past away. The heart of the business and the restaurant closed. He was such a kind hearted man and always made sure he added something to my order, pot stickers, or a wonton soup, whatever. I saw your channel and father and it reminded me about my boss , my friend. Anyway look forward to searching your recipes and trying them out. Blessing and good health to your family. 🙏🙂

I would love to hear all kind of childhood memory stories !!! Although sad a lot of times it must be very interesting to learn about different upbringing ...🙏🏻

It’s strangely comforting to hear your dad speak Cantonese. I never learned because I’m a 3rd Gen banana. My dad only knew a few phrases.

I take the little things for granted. When I heard his pa say having an egg for his birthday was already awesome, that made me think how lucky of a person I am. Thank God you have blessed me with so much 🙏🏽 ❤ Keep up the great content guys!

Whenever I’m lazy and don’t feel like making anything too complicated, I always just toss up some eggs and tomatoes. Tried your dad’s version tonight and I think I prefer this one (though since I always gotta have some heat in my food, a chopped up jalapeño found its way into the pan) over the other ones I’ve tried!

This is one of my favorite dishes ever. It's not traditional, but it is AMAZING on a piece of buttered toast.

You got a super great father. Thanks for sharing his dishes.

Thank you! And your Dad! He is amazing! I have been living in China for 4 years, I love the food but all the recipes my Chinese friends send to me are all in Chinese! Your recipes are so real! Things I eat at my school’s cafeteria! And now I can make them! Thank you! O yeah, I have already made the garlic eggplant dish twice this week. Stuck in Shanghai’s lockdown and the we got a whole bag of eggplant! 🙈

I think over 90% Chinese people cook this as their first dish in their life.
