Love this series of yours! This one is definitely going in my repertoire
Add oyster and soy sauce…
WHY
You know this is breakfast in almost all latin america? Fry your tomatoes, add pepper and salt, once the tomatos are soft add the eggs. There. Done. Smh

Oink oink
how did Google know that I just cooked this dish 1 hour ago????? but please… use tomato sauce instead of ketchup
Eating this is nostalgic every time
This was my fav thing to eat in Taiwan!! I’d love a written recipe!!
Childhood
The sugar ruined it for me.
How many tomatoes did you use?
I have this almost every other day for lunch… so easy and delicious!!! 👍
"and of course…. MSG"
Mum makes this but uses fish sauce rather than tomato sauce and she adds white pepper and garlic in it too.
Easiest one to make. God I love tomatoes and egg as a pack lunch.
What is MSG?
this is a great recipe even for someone like me who doesn’t like tomatoes. i also found out that if your seriously short on time another great way to make this is to add marinara sauce to some scrambled eggs with the seasonings. not quite as good as fresh tomatoes but you don’t have to wait for the tomatoes to cook down and it’s still very good 😅

Nice meal👌
Can you please show us the ingredients name on the screen because sometime we don't understand what ingredients name did you tell. So please show us the ingredients name on the screen so that we can make it an enjoy it 😢😢😢 please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
I prefer to do without salt and msg. After a while, it wakes up the tastes buts.
Asian take on Lecsó without peppers seems super interesting
Bro's dishes wouldn't be complete without a copious amount of sugar in it.
Fuck man so good looking
Omg, finally I know how to make this myself! I had this almost every day at the hotel while working in Qingdao. Sometimes they'd switch out the tomatoes for leek. Both versions mighty delicious!
Why can't you fry eggs at the end with tomatoes?
my signature dish, but I add em yellow n red peppers😌✌️
Why do you take huge bites?
I prefer to also add corn starch slurry to thicken de sauce.
I'd say cook the tomatoes first, then the eggs. The eggs continue to cook when set aside so the texture changes.
Hey, i used to make this all the time. My motivation? I was high as hell, and it turned out delicious. I grow tomatoes so i wanted to use em somehow other than sliced up.
Luh you goat ❤
my go to for years
I make this in 10 minutes and my mother in law still complains what takes me so long 😅
Anything tastes better with MSG.
I’ve tried to avoid it all my life.
Ngl anytime I see a vid like this I save it to a note called food recipes for older me
Really says you nice cooked person I'm worst cooked person
And OF COURSE MSG. I am so grateful to hear that! This is truly a great dish, and has a striking appearance too.
Way too wet, everything becomes soggy and unpleasant once you start squishing the tomatoes. It's literally in the name, stir-fried not mixed…
my absolute favorite dish
