Tomato and Egg Stir-Fry Tomato and Egg Stir-Fry
A simple homemade dish—Tomato and Egg Stir-Fry! There are many ways to make it—this is my personal method. I peel the tomatoes and don't add ketchup. The egg mixture is added last. Someone once asked me why my tomato and egg stir-fry has more sauce. It's because my family likes to mix the sauce with rice. Slowly simmer the egg mixture over low heat at the end to keep the eggs tender. Everyone has their own way of making it, just go with what you and your family like. 布丁愛美食🍡🍨🍳Translated from Cookpad Taiwan -

Quick Tomato and Egg Stir-Fry Quick Tomato and Egg Stir-Fry
Tomato and egg stir-fry is a classic home-cooked dish. When made just right—soft, juicy, and not too watery—it's the perfect companion to rice. The silky eggs blend with the tomatoes, creating a rich, tangy-sweet flavor that melts in your mouth. Juicy, tender, and full of flavor, this dish turns everyday ingredients into a delicious meal and is also great for lunchboxes. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene and antioxidants, which help eliminate free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage. Lycopene is fat-soluble, so cooking tomatoes with oil helps your body absorb it better. This popular dish is both nutritious and tasty—perfect with rice, noodles, or as a lunchbox side. A perfect everyday recipe. 凱茜媽咪の廚房Translated from Cookpad Taiwan -

Egg and Tomato Stir-fry with Sweet Chili Sauce Egg and Tomato Stir-fry with Sweet Chili Sauce
I wanted to come up with a simple dish for dinner using sweet chili sauce.You can just chop up the tomato if you like, but I cut it into wedges to enjoy their fresh flavor. Don't stir fry the tomato for too long.Have you tried sweet chili sauce? It's a bit sour, sweet, and just a bit spicy. I'm addicted to it. It's ok for kids too if you adjust the amount!! I've really been into sweet chili sauce recently, and I use it to flavor chikuwa fish sticks and wiener sausages for bentos too. For 3 servings. Recipe by salada mama cookpad.japan -
