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!
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! 😊
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.
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.
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!!!!!!😂
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 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?
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
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
😅 my recipe eggs, tomatoes and green onion season with salt, sugar and soy sauce only, a premium one for best flavor, very simple. Starting with kinda frying beaten eggs, use few drips of oil on high heat and make it fast, then put a side. Next on medium heat throw in half of green onion, after 1 minute throw in all the tomatoes then soy sauce, sugar and salt, add a little water and after another minute or two then throw in the fried omelette. Check the taste and throw in rest of green onion before turning off the heat. I like it for breakfast serve with steam rice 😁 I don't know if it's Chinese style or not, but yes plain and simple. Taste of eggs, tomatoes and soy sauce with nice smell of green onion, and yet so delicious...
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.
The egg looks so mixed up and it's the most efficient way I've seen for the last 5 mins hehe. I am looking for a way to make it and prolly will use this method
I used to make it ...But i don't want chunky tomatoes so,i mashed it till it turns into gravy then add the eggs... and cooked it till most of the water vapourised!
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
man I literally eat this every day for breakfast, and this bid made it sound like a 5 star restaurant stuff....
@LaMelo Ball breakfast, dinner and any meal really but not with rice, just some bread
you eat like a king my friend
Fr
same hahaha chinese kids understand
Wdym breakfast I can eat this 3 meals a day

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

Yesss, this is the right way to make it
Yes 🙌🏼! As a Chinese person, this is what I was thinking
ja, i always cook in this way.
Indeed,as a native Chinese,egg should be tender,not so fried.adding in sugar is also OK.
Yep, can confirm.
I recommend heirloom tomatoes, so juicy, no water needed. We usually stir fry the egg first. It also goes with noodles.
In my country we eat it with yam
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! 😊
I'd season the tomatoes AND the egg and then and probably add chilli oil and adobo to level it up!
Hell yeah chilli oil will work
Can you use chilli oil to cook it ? Like instead of butter or oil
@@pov4601it's better to use oil then at last u can add chilli oil it's better that way
this is very similar to Turkish menemem! I’m obsessed.

I had something similar for the first time and I was blown away yummmmmm
In Mexico we have a similar dish. We do tomato, serrano/jalapeño, onion and egg. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We eat something like this with yam for breakfast in Nigeria
Thanks for this comment, yam is a great idea, I would definitely prefer it over the rice. I'm going to give this a shot. I love white yam

THAT LOOKS SO GOOD AND SO SIMPLE TO MAKE. OMW TO MAKE THAT FOR DINNER
When I was younger I used to mix the rice and the tomato and egg dish together. I still don't know why but it tasted good
I've made this a couple times and I love it. Very tasty!
I made this already and it's the best❤
Love this. I add onions and green capsicum to make it taste and look even better!
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.

Omg... This is my def of comfort food... Its practically one of the most common asian homemade food 👍🏼✨
This meal looks absolutely delicious. 😋💜

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

I always remember my mom for this. And I'm still always eating it! Perfect with steamed rice!
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...
Wow, that looks so good! I'll be making this for sure! 👍
My dad always makes this for breakfast on the weekends 😋
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?

Omg I *LOVE* this dish I legit grew up with it I eat it like 3 times a week or sth
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.
Thank you for the update, Tasty..!! Excellent tomato egg..!!
Dude! That looks so good!
fyaz
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.
Mmmmm!!! That looks good!!! 👍👍👍👍
I tasted this it was wonderful❤
ive done this before its so good
I swear this is legit making me drool 😅❤❤😮
*_You’re a wonderful cook. Who agree with me?_* 😋😋😋😋
The first proper-cooking dish I ever learned! :D
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
I made the same
It was amazinggggggggg
Its my fav dish, since my whole family is chinese we eat this like 2 times a week lol
Man finally some real Chinese food. 1.3 billion people eat tomato eggs it’s literally the most authentic
Wow!! Looks delicious. It's very similar to a Greek dish called Strapatsada!!
Love the rice in a bowl 😮
I lived in Guangzhou and i miss this dish sooo much. Tmr I'm gonna make it my own 😌
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
Finally this dish gets recognition. We Armenians really like this :))
so authentic!
Lovely childhood dish indeed. It goes well with vinegar or fish sauce
En Venezuela comemos lo mismo y le llamamos Perico pero le echamos cebolla también
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
I just found out this is a chineese dish! Im from Poland and I'm eating this since my childhood
In iraq we eat this too, its really good but we eat it with rice and also we put white onions with it ❤
This and spam are my dishes to eat when there’s nothing to eat
🍎Apple
🍌Banana
🍊Orange
🍋Lemon
🍑Peach
Always tasty food thank you for sharing❤👍
Where'd you get that pan? I bought the Tasty Kitchen knives set last week. Have yet to union it but I'm excited!
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
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
I like to drink the sauce as soup. It's pretty good.
About fluid ingredient, does it go better with regular oil or olive one ?

Love it!❤
We have this dish in the Philippines also
Trying this out for dinner tonight
I make this with onion. Perfect breakfast
Add small part onion and green chillies it's definitely 🥰🥰 🇮🇳
“Egg and Tomato” sounds better for those on either end of the naming debate.
Tomato and Egg sounds better
Just Tomato Egg
no egg tomato
This is my childhood food but we make it differently
This makes me wanna go to China even more
In mauritius we call it rougaille oeuf & we make it spicy!
I love eggs with yomatos
As a chinese，I suppose the dish you make is quite distinct from most chinese household typically make.
Pro tip!! Freeze your tomatoes before cooking it makes you tomato egg rice extra juicy and soupy
I like adding diced onions.
Delicious !
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.
The way this shorts was filmed reminded me of TheKoreanVegan on TikTok! 😍
I have to try this. I keep seeing it all over shorts and I have never tried it
The way you described the rice felt transcendent
It’s like Moroccan bm (bayd/egg ou/and matisha/tomato)
In our country we eat this when you dont have anything to eat and we put a little bit of sugar salt and fish sauce its taste salty sweet.
We eat something similar with bread in morroco
The egg looks so mixed up and it's the most efficient way I've seen for the last 5 mins hehe. I am looking for a way to make it and prolly will use this method
We call it „Menemen“ in Turkey
Lovely dish 🥰🥰🥰
theres no chinese dish more authentic and legit than tomato and egg
Just sprinkle salt & chili garlic oil while cooking it. Chef's kiss 😘👌🏼
I used to make it ...But i don't want chunky tomatoes so,i mashed it till it turns into gravy then add the eggs... and cooked it till most of the water vapourised!
In Egypt we call this Shakshooka!
I like it the same way.
I always remove the white stuff near the yolk, it s something the roster put there
Looks delicious 😅
It's known as "egg bhurji" in India, grew up having with my mom making it
i agree dude
here in Saudi Arabia, we call those shakshuka and we eat them alot as breakfast
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
eat the eggs, ur rlly missing out
Why won’t you eat it? Tomato and egg is so basic - what’s there to not like?
How long do you cook the tomatoes?
