How to: Tomato Egg | Chinese Breakfast 番茄炒蛋

[@MeowMeowKapow]

I LOVE tomato egg and cook it pretty regularly. One thing you might want to try is adding a dash of oyster sauce-it does some kind of magic that makes the whole dish unnnnbelievable!

[@skyedecourcy]

You guys should make an app with all your recipes, I would definitely buy it!

[@DaDJCat]

Me too! You guys the best!

[@pryanthielvitigala7312]

Hello future neighbour🌷, your cooking chanel is best for me, i am from srilanka and i cooked many of your dishes for my chinease friend's, they love it, i cooked most of your breakfast dishes, may god bless your familly and you, 🙏

Ooh that’s a good idea!

[@gsilveroak]

Yes!!!

[@surnamename293]

Love as it is like this. In youtube. 🙂

[@mabellemichelle]

Chinese American checking in here, I love how this dish is so universal (Every country/region has their own take on it but all equally yummy). Much love to you guys and hope y'all are staying safe and healthy 💜

[@Morzsi89]

Here is the Hungarian version: finely chop an onion and start frying it in a tbsp oil, then add chopped bell peppers and lastly the tomatoes (because tomatoes need less time to cook). When the tomatoes release the juices, just pour in the egg mixture and once it's cooked you're done. We're usually eat some bread with it, but some people add sausages, leave out the egg and have it with rice. It's a very popular dish called lecsó. So interesting to read the comments about different versions of this dish from around the world :)

[@VerneditheSnail]

That sounds delicious!

[@CreativeCreatorCreates]

Yum! Thank you for sharing!

[@zahirabazzi908]

It is like our dish in lebanon but little bit different we add cummin and black pepper and 🌶

[@Morzsi89]

[@Bidilizer]

We also have a breakfast dish like that in Turkey called menemen

[@sosigennes]

ever since I came back from China I've been missing this and it never crossed my mind that I could just...make it myself hahahah thank you for the recipe!

[@nomadtc]

Actual why I'm here haha

[@deadpeach07]

I think every culture have a tomato and eggs dish like China have a stir fry north Africa have eggs poached in tomato ( i also think maybe Iran and Turkey have a tomato and egg dish ) here in the middle east every family have a way of cooking tomato and eggs

[@Hyunfam]

Yup ~ Turkey has a very famous breakfast egg dish called Menemen :) you can google it ^^ super delish

[@gabriellemartin6540]

I think you're talking about shakshuka! That said, every region has their own name. It's even in Italy and Greece. There's just something about the egg and tomato combo!

[@Aequocorico]

i love how food connects cultures

[@zeynepyazici9618]

Gabrielle Martin nope şakşuka doesn’t have egg in it. At least in Turkish kitchen. It’s made with eggplant, pepper and tomatoes. This dish reminds Menemen even though the recipe is very different.

[@NiaPgn]

Shakshouka in the Middle East and Turkey 😁

[@theonetruesarauniya]

Grew up eating the Nigerian version of this since I was little but we make ours a bit differently (always with habaneros or Scotch Bonnets) . This brings memories you guys! We typically eat this with taro/yam and ripe plantains! Cheers you guys.

[@xiamemi]

how do you prepare the taro/yam? it sounds delicious!

[@janner2006]

@D Tomato and egg is super popular combo around the world (and for good reason) Shakshuka and eggs in purgatory are a level up in terms of time commitment and added ingredients as well as steps but they're essentially the same iconic combination of cooked tomatoes and eggs for breakfast! It's kind of dumplings around the world. They're all the same exact concept of filling wrapped in dough yet there are so many different versions with their own twists and identities

[@starxich0r727]

Emily Chin normally steamed or boiled. Like potatoes!

[@theonetruesarauniya]

@@xiamemi steamed, boiled or sometimes we make fried wedges.

I did this recipe. I love 😍 it !!!! Yes!!! Well, I am from North Carolina, USA and a Southern Girl. I eat this recipe with grits instead rice. It's good ! I love my grits. Thanks for the recipe/ recipes. I will try some more your recipes and your stories. The stories help me learn about Korean Culture. You're a good teacher/teachers.

[@luhrenzo]

When is the cookbook coming out?!

[@didemt.6040]

Wow so delicious! this recipe so similar with our’s. We call it menemen ( you can pronounce like men-a-men) There is disagreement about its content for many years. some of us cook with onions, some of us cook without onions.i love both versions. Let me talk about the differences. cut the tomatoes smaller, we do not put sugar and starch in it. We also pour the scrambled eggs over the tomatoes when cooked, and quickly mix them before the eggs solidify and take away from the fire. so it becomes slightly juicy, tasty.We usually eat with fresh bread/ toasted bread and black tea. Do you guys like black tea? Please try it once, I think you will not regret 😋

[@BlaisZeroni]

Love menemen! I usually eat it with green bell peppers

[@Myacckt]

One of the best home style cooking shows around no doubt

[@kittysflowerld7011]

My mom used to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes! But she stopped because I didn’t like it when I was little (Sorry mom). I think I‘ll be going to make this version for breakfast tomorrow to surprise her and to see if she notices the difference 😁. We live in Germany so it would be called „Tomatenrührei“.

I've been eating this since I was little... My dad used to make us for breakfast. I'm from Chile... I guess "huevos con tomate" is more common than you may think. And it's delicious 👌🏻

[@yulunwang919]

As a Chinese, I don't think this dish is common for breakfast there, south or north. The title is slightly misleading.

[@pauliyomary]

@@yulunwang919 oh... I understand.

[@shamidkpzd]

@@yulunwang919 I was wondering about that actually. Because I've lived in China for years (Zhejiang province) and while this is a common dish I don't think I've seen anyone eat it for breakfast.

I just made this and it's SO GOOD. It melts in my mouth, the texture is like curry. I replace green onion with onion make it smells even better😍

[@yaowang5974]

As a Chinese, I have to say your version is more innovative than the common one, and it looks tasty.

[@quinteraquinn]

I ate this when I was in China!!! I am NOT a fan of tomatoes, but I remember this was super freaking delicious, even despite me not liking tomatoes lol. Thanks for sharing this recipe!!!

[@ChoochooseU]

This is one of my all time favourite recipes these days. I can’t believe as much as I grew up eating fresh tomatoes, and tomato gravy with my eggs that this didn’t ever occur to me as a combo. Now, I definitely think how I choose to season this dish/add ins depend on the season because the tomato can vary anywhere from wintertime only access to hard and red in Color but not truly ripened by the ☀️ to during summertime when I can get plenty of sun ripened home grown juicy sweet tomatoes! So wintertime I find myself needing to add sugar and some garlic and onions to flavour versus summertime I can almost just use eggs and tomato’s but it’s also nice to splash in vinegar to balance too sweet with a bit of acid and my biggest most favourite discovery tip is: Fish broth! Be it korean anchovy liquid OR 5 crab fish sauce OR some powdered dashi. Adding this in to a bit of water just elevates this dish to another level.(use instead of salt) Nommy 😋

[@6882alas]

Tomato egg as breakfast, very creative, I’m gonna try tomorrow morning.

Aah~ we have a variation of this in our family. Im Indian, we put tomatoes, chillies, a bit turmeric and salt in mustard oil, let it soften up and add the beaten eggs. It tastes amazing! Please try it if you get the chance !! Highly recommended

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

I've made this, it's incredible-- doesn't taste at all like what I thought it might. Wow.

I used to do this and season it with curry powder, then eat it with rice or roti. It was close to something I had in India! So good!😋 The Turks are doing something similar called „Menemen“. Also very nice!

[@kimchikat2169]

There, you said it in the end: curried egg tomatoes!

[@MaNkYmInX]

I love fresh tomatoes in my eggs. A friend showed me how delicious it was many moons ago and I never looked back. Now this version is different but I am willing to try it. 👍❤️

[@peachcampanella]

I’m Filipino and we make our tomato eggs exactly the same! I love mixing it with my rice!

[@peachcampanella]

We add garlic with it as well as scallion :)

[@starfirelena]

My family always did it very simple, stir fry the tomatoes, when the skin starts peeling and the tomatoes soften, pour in the eggs right on top. Stir real quick and don’t let the eggs overcook. We don’t use ketchup, just some salt, sugar, and white pepper. The peanut oil really helps for flavor.

[@noelleferrer2307]

[@christinevanzyl3106]

I made something similar to this after I watched this video. Made the tomato’s, added leftover rice once the tomatoes were soft and added egg last. I just sort of chucked everything in the pan (lazy version). I ended making a fried rice but still really good. My family normally eats the typical western breakfast, so I made this for myself as an experiment. My mom tried some and really liked it.

I've cooked something similar while trying to make an omelette 😅 You've inspired me to add some extra ingredients and flavors the next time I do this! 👍

[@arthas640]

Pro tip: add a little fish sauce and/or soy sauce. Thai people do that and sometimes add chilies to the tomato mixture or add nam pla (sauce made by mixing 50% fish sauce with 50% like juice and garlic, cilantro, and thai chilies to taste) on top of the cooked eggs

[@wasserkolors8292]

My Family's background is former Prussian empire. I have made something like this, since I was small. It's a summer dish for me, because I use fresh tomatoes from our garden. I like using cherry tomatoes because cooking them releases their sweetness- no sugar required. I also add some crushed garlic. I put fresh ( homegrown) chives on top. Then I put it on top of toast- although I do sometimes eat it with fried rice.

[@mimialexander1749]

Togolese dish. Mainly popular in West Africa. We eat it with rice too. We add fresh garlic and ginger. Makes huge difference 😋😋😋
