[@gracedarang9820]

[@zbedfi]

it would be really helpful if the required ingredients were listed in the description

[@tuesfou]

I'm from HK and moved to London recently. Since I'm living alone now I've been watching your videos to learn how to cook hong kong dishes. Your recipes are easy and delicious. Thank you and keep up the good work!

[@ivykaneshiro7554]

I remember my mom cooking this in 1950’s.,,,than I cooked this for my husband because my tomatoes were getting too ripe…this was the first for him….he was amazed…he enjoyed it. Nothing beats the good old days food❤❤❤❤👍👍👍

[@jenny85]

This was one of my favorite dishes when growing up in Hong Kong. I would always ask for more rice whenever I had this dish. Thank you Flo for showing us how simple it is to make this delicious dish! Perfect for summertime!

[@bmnegus3772]

Here in UK scrambled eggs, fried tomatoes served with or on toast is a common breakfast. But, these Asian influences raise this to a whole new wonderful level. Thank you.

[@fire77girl]

We have a local place that I went to pick up take out from and they were setting the table for all of their family when I got there. One of the women brought out tomato and egg and it looked amazing and I asked her what it was, then asked her if it's on the menu. She said no it's not on the menu, but if you ever want I will make it for you! So every now and then I will go there and have her make it for me. It's delicious!

[@emilylumagui5885]

Im Filipina and this was a comfort food for me and i still make it today. We use tomatoes, onions and eggs. Its a staple in many Filipino homes.

[@milanice5730]

My Filipino family also did it your way, Emily, but we would also add a few long, thin slices of potatoes. Sarap! 😋

[@emmgee7153]

Ilocano, born and Raised in Hawaii. My dad use to cook this also. Usually in the mornings. Ono! Yummy!

[@emilylumagui5885]

@@emmgee7153 I’m having it for dinner now. It’s a staple!

[@lilyaana3690]

😊My favorite dish .

[@myhanhngsingh7445]

Thank U Mrs. Flo Lum. I’m a bedside nurse (hardworking down to my bones). I’m usually hungry for simple flavors home cooked food but fast prep & cooking process is important to me (less than 20 mins.). Thank U for being 1 of my all time best cooking teacher..

[@jonesbub1]

Love how quickly this dish came together…and it uses meat alternatives, which is so important with the ever-increasing cost of groceries. Definitely looks like comfort in a bowl!! Happy Sunday! Sharon🤗

[@VictorG930]

Simple and versatile , depending on how hungry , or how much time you have , imagine adding a few things to that dish , shrimp, left over roast chicken or bbq pork , endless possibilities , have a cool and relaxing Sunday ,today it’s expecting to rain here in Jamaica Montego Bay , but when it comes I will believe.

[@sherryw-ponyluv-er2394]

I’ve never had Chinese food with tomatoes-this sounds awesome. I hope my garden will enable this dish SOON!

[@soniademandante8614]

I'm filipina and I grow up eating scrambled eggs saute in garlic onion and lots of tomatoes yummy😋

[@Terenia531]

Love the addition of the ketchup. It is so versatile and I’m always surprised when it’s not in someone’s fridge as it’s such a great flavour enhancement for so many dishes.

[@NightStars1122]

Or even tomato paste to enhance the tomato flavor😋

[@Seriously_Nina]

I'm Italian and my grandmother would make a scrambled egg with tomato and zucchini, sometimes even put it on a kisar roll for lunch, so I would totally eat this😊

[@Carmela007]

I'm Italian too and my grandmother and mother used to make this for me too. It was called "Eggs in Purgatory" translated in English. It was so simple to make and we would eat it with Iralian bread. I make it every now and then when I want something simple and quick. Every household usually has tomatoes and eggs. We didn't add Katchup or sugar or cornstarch.

[@srinivasj9983]

Tell my wishes to your grandmother boss

[@Bot-503]

Wow. Italian and Chinese cuisine do share a lot of similar stuff! Dumplings, noodles, and now even tomato and egg!

[@luckylibra6131]

I'm African American never even heard of this but definitely will try it for me and my husband this weekend

[@barbaragoodson8212]

I just made this for lunch.. ridiculously easy.. childhood memories in a bowl..

[@annitagirlly1485]

This is my favorite menu . Simply but I love it. From Thailand 😊

[@kenb.9976]

This is Chinese comfort food for sure.

[@duckling4393]

Nothing Chinese about eggs and tomatoes 😂😂😂

[@jojobee8057]

Thank you Flo and Dude for encouraging us to add our own flavours. I also appreciate your wonderful command of the English language. I think you may make us smarter too. Wonderful gift.

[@deltas4114]

Looks delicious 😋 My favorite way to start my Sunday with Flo, Dude, and kitty. Thank you for my blessed Sunday morning.

[@sibeleskier2964]

In Turkey we cook this dish adding green peppers and tomatoes to eggs and we call it 'Menemen' It is a popular and delicious dish out here:)

[@lynnnelson6689]

Can't wait for your new cookbook; , simple cooking has made my whole family's life easier. A great coffee table book. Thanks for giving us options. Who'd thought of this dish? Grandma and Flo.

[@justanotherperson563]

That looks delicious! I loved your husband's comments. You are both awesome. Thanks for the recipe!

[@KELLS_NOVELS]

Half Chinese here from my mom’s side. She used to do it every now and then for dinner. And even now it’s still one of my fave dish. RIP mom, your legacy still lives on. 🫰🏻

[@Claw_Chan]

She teaches extremely well and seems like a really nice person, thank you!

[@conniepollock4778]

I'm a huge fan of tomatoes, eggs and rice! Great combination! Can't wait to try this dish! Thanks Flo and Dude! Stay cool in this heat! ❤️

[@slytherlily]

My maternal side is from Hong Kong and my grandma used to cook this dish for me all the time when I was little! Now since I don't live in the same state as her, I'll often make this dish when I'm missing her. Thanks for sharing!

[@FloLum]

Aw… that’s so sweet!

[@susanfowler7596]

I lived in China for several years and this dish is probably the first recipe most kids learn how to cook because it's easy but delicious. I still love it

[@colleenbeamer6403]

Wow! The best part of this video was the announcement of the new cookbook at the end! 😊😊😊😊 I am *so* happy and you made my day! This is not to detract from the recipe - it looks and sounds delicious. This is something I would eat, but my son wouldn't - he doesn't like tomatoes. Guess I'll be making this on a night when he's not home for supper! 😊😊😋😋😊

[@FloLum]

Aw… thanks for the support, Colleen! 💕

[@jmarcos1008]

This looks so delicious for such a simple meal. I can really use these simple meals. Gorgeous fur 😺 baby you have. Thank you 😊

[@asexualatheist3504]

This reminds me of an Asian version of an egg and tomato dish my grandmother made.

[@jayatibatabyal9148]

Beautiful and yet simple dish. 👍👌👍👌

[@Kayenne54]

We used to make this. We're not Chinese? It tastes great. Loved it.

[@hamidkamara8150]

Thank you so much for t he comments you made at the end of your excellent video. I have always loved this Chinese Egg and Tomato dish. Today I was feeling poorly and was unable to make it to the shops. I knew I had eggs and tomatoes but no spring onions, so I was indecisive about adding garlic and onions (not quite the thing I know) but I did so, and it turned out - tastewise - okay. So thank you for the tip, about being free to adapt recipes! Saying that I`lll be sticking to using spring onions in the future !!!

[@lamiar6474]

Favourite of mine .such quick and easy dinner

[@conniealmeida3373]

I’m Portuguese and my mom used to make something like that and I loved it. I’m going to make some today.

[@jennykhiangte1494]

I'm Mizo from northeast India, this is our regular breakfast dish. Easy to make.. But we don't use sugar, soy sauce, water or corn starch slurry. We fried tomatoes and add eggs after cooked.. The ratio is also like 2 tomatoes to 3 eggs

[@huimintang8365]

Oh, as a Chinese foodie I usually cook this dish in a much simpler way. I use only eggs, tomatoes and salt, and it tastes very good as well. I think the eggs and tomatoes are such a perfect match to develop amazing aromas and flavors. It's magic! Thank you for sharing an alternative way of cooking this dish!

[@elizabethoileng435]

Simple, delicious and healthy home cooked dish 😋 yummy

[@travelaroundlife]

I'm living in China now. That is my favorite dish but I love it with rice noodles, morning glory, and broth. It's amazing.

[@JabbaBlue]

This is an all time favorite in the Philippines. My grandma used to make it all the time and so delicious with white rice minus ginger.

[@ryansarai7899]

Love your outlook on cooking! ❤

[@sonsaysa5956]

Made it and oh so good…. My mother made it for too. I forgot about it until I saw you cooking it… so yummy… thank you

[@kimleivon786]

This goes so well with rice. 💖

[@janithgottfried8320]

This looked so appetizing, I was tasting it with my eyes! Simple and delicious, what more does anyone need!

[@chubbybuddha4471]

The first time I had tomato and egg, I was teaching in Nanjing China and it was delicious 😋

[@tonyn152]

New Cookbook? Yes!!

[@DrunkenDarwin]

They serve this at all the chinese restaurants around me!

[@lulucastillo7269]

That is my comfort food with my sister

[@gelwood99]

Perfect timing, my paste tomatoes are coming on now and the hens are ramping up their egg production so this is a great way to use what we have on hand, Thanks, Flo!

Thanks for the classic recipe I often see Chinese natives state is a comfort food.

[@island.clinician]

I lived in Chongqing for 4 years and this was a go-to at my favourite family-run restaurant, near my apartment. So simple, yet absolutely delicious!

[@manelgamaeathige5102]

Thank you, learning something from you. Tasty recipies. They are timely, as everything is very expensive today. Yummy.

[@TheLittletrees]

Hi Flow, I have been watching your videos for a while, it was becoming therapy for me as I love to cook. I recently lost my daughter from ovarian cancer, you are very inspirational for me, a healthy distraction. My wok is on order, Amazon of course. I live in the smallest state of Rhode Island. I will probably have to find ingredients on , more then likely Amazon, minimal Asian markets here in little Rhode Island. Happy to have found you and your easy going personality. I have 2 cats, indoor Kitty’s, I love yours cats, beautiful. Be well and your family also. Linda. 🥬🥦🥕🍎

[@TheLittletrees]

I ordered YOSUKATA carbon steel wok 14” hopefully this is good

[@FloLum]

Oh Linda… I am so sorry to hear of your daughter’s passing but glad that somehow, I have been able to bring some distraction for you. The wok looks fantastic. I might have to order one to check out! Blessings to you and yours. 💕

[@TheLittletrees]

My wok arrived today 😊

[@notreyf]

Hello, I only discovered your channel a few days ago. For some reason this recipe really appealed to me. I'm a timid cook but I thought even I could cook something so simple. So I had a go today. Wow, goodness me, it was delicious. I have no idea if it would compare with yours (I'm sure yours tastes much better) but I cannot tell you the confidence it has given me to try other recipes. Thank you so much.

[@guyjackson1763]

Always reassuring when you see a few books on the shelf behind the chef that you have yourself. I saw three all together and might have seen more had they been in focus!

[@jeannedyer4963]

[@figtreemom3839]

This recipe came in perfect timing, I didn’t know what to make for breakfast and I have been craving tomato and egg my mother in law makes 😋 I love your cooking, thank you! P.s. I know it’s tomato season but I had no tomatoes on hand so I used canned diced tomatoes… gasp and it was good!

[@andersonomo597]

That question was on my mind - so THANKS for sharing that! Great to have an alternative when tomatoes are out of season and expensive!

[@karkirch]

Ooooo!!!! Why have I never ever put these two together is beyond my thought process?!? So, I know what I'm going to be trying on my days off!! (Yep on my days off I try and cook, that's my crazy casino life!)

[@karenbearden6198]

I made this just as the instructions said and we enjoyed it very much! Thanks you kindly!

My little chinese cookbooks have a recipe for beef and tomato. Mexican cooking has huevos rancheros(tomato potato, and eggs). Now Chinese has tomato and eggs. Hooray!! I love to eat that's why I learned to cook. And I have eaten some good food that I've prepared. Long time subscriber,. Glad to see you hitting your stride . You make me happy with the last few months of recipes. My main cuisines of interest are Asian, Indian, Mediterreanean basin,and of course American. Basically peasant food., But good tasting peasant food. I am always amazed at two or three ingredients that just go together(ham and eggs;, bread, butter, and jelly; bread and melty cheese;. Etc. I love simplicity. I love noodle dishes. Keep up the good work...

[@OjitosChiquititosmaquillaje]

Hello Flo I have heard of this dish but have not tried until after watching your video. Since my neighbors has given a good amount of her garden heirloom tomatoes, and it was lunch time and I have to cook something fast so I did. It was my new favorite now! Thank you for sharing such simple and delicious dish!
