Stir-fried Tomato and Egg | 番茄炒蛋 | Easy Asian Home Cooking 

Oh this is odd, for the first time I actually have the required ingredients in my kitchen, I can actually try this awesome!!

I grew up on this, but the dish is slightly different depending on who cooks it. My Mum makes it similar to Adam's dish - the tomatoes and eggs are loose and runny, making the dish super slurpy, almost like a stew. My Dad has a more robust style, so the tomatoes and eggs all keep their form so there's more texture and bite to the dish. I love both versions.

I really needed the positive energy from this guy now...

I love the fact that you explain everything while you do your cooking. A lot of people forget that when they do a basics video.

This was a staple of mine in college. Egg, tomato, a little oil and some garlic 🙌🏾 Savory, quick, hot and filling. Cheap. It's the perfect meal.

Oh my god, this is my favorite comfort food. Every time I feel homesick, this is one of the things that makes me feel better. I'm so happy to see you make a video of it in your usual style, with the respect and love for such a simple but very important food for a lot of us who live away from our parents.

Tomatoes and eggs, the dish every Chinese college kid learns from their mom.

4:00 to 4:30 - the music and the sounds are just so soothing!! ❤️

It seems that every culture with access to eggs and tomatoes has some version of this dish. It's universally delicious, satisfying, and comforting.

The production quality...gorgeous!

perfect timing for this sort of simple, minimal, delicious recipe, too! I've been planning to make it soon, so I will make that happen this weekend!!!

Literally excited when he says "im gonna do a series with two ingredients" f yess

My Chinese fellow international student taught me this recipe during grad school, and I'll always associate it with being warm amidst deadlines and a Midwestern winter. So glad to see a proper rendition of this from Adam!

So I just tried this. Eggs are not my favorite item, but we have chickens, so we have eggs. I used vine ripe tomatoes and sweet onion, as that’s what I had. I have loads of fresh garlic in my garden, so I minced a clove in which I added after the tomatoes started giving off their juices. I used Chinese wine as the liquid and yellow rock sugar. Final garnish with fresh cilantro. Oh...my ...word! I have never eaten an egg dish where I wasn’t just trying to finish it. This was gone from my bowl way before I was ready. It was so delicious. Sssssooooooo good!

This is the dish I make when I don't know what to make and it never disappoints. It really is the very first dish when many kids learn to cook. THANK YOU!

The sound quality in your videos is terrific.

Idk what it is, whether the music or the vibes or just everything over all, but I feel so calm and happy watching this

This was wonderful to watch! I appreciate how Adam explains everything thoroughly in his awesome calming way, while also showing how to do the simplest things like chopping tomatoes. I need every bit of the help and this was perfect.

My grandpa made this for me as a kid. Still my favorite. I still make this and I believe my grandpa likes my version 😊

Being an expat being away from home for years, the moment I made this and tasted it, I was instantly teleported back to my family dinner table. It truly helped with isolation and homesickness! Thanks for the recipe!

This is my FAVOURITE THING of all time!!! Me and my best friend at university would always go for these noodles at the local Chinese noodle bar after hardcore study sessions for Psychology, except she’s vegan so the restaurant always made them vegan - specially for her. We would go every week and the waiters recognised us. Now because of covid 19, the restaurant closed down, and we are isolating at home.... I’m glad you posted the recipe. It will bring back a lot of nostalgia for me when I make it tonight :)

his smile at the end after trying a bite is so infectious 🥰 these videos never fail to make me feel warm and cozy

Feel like this is the first time I've actually seen you try the dish at the end. Worth the wait, very satisfying.

I can sum it up in one word BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for another great recipe Adam

Awesome recipe! As a college student I would love to see more easy stir fry work recipes

Tomato and eggs is one of the most satisfying dishes I've ever eaten. I know it's not Chinese but I sop up the juice with a big piece of French bread. Just delightful!

this is literally my childhood! Love these simple homey recipes!

Dude, yes! We're really going to miss eating out for quite a while. This sort of easy and cheap variety at home is exactly what we all need right now. This makes a real difference. You're a legend. Thank you 🙏

Thanks for this great tip on something quick and easy and awesome to eat with common ingredients most of us have on hand most of the time! Total dude!

I made this and I am Vietnamese. One difference is (I do not speak for the entire Vietnamese cuisine, this is how my mother and I make the dish), we keep the seasoning very simple. We only add a 1 tablespoon of fish sauce and a pinch of sugar; the umami is just tripled. I am really fascinated by how one dish can have many variations across cuisines.

In my family, we always add a little garlic like any good Chinese stir fry and it really boosts the flavours in my opinion! Great video as always :)

I have never been so thrilled watching any cooking videos like I am now, only because I know I will learn so much in very short time.

Hey Adam, i am from germany so please excuse my bad english. But i just wanted to say that I love your channel and your videos on it. It is so inspiring to see how much passion , love and respect you put in to the creation of your dishes. I tried to cook a couple of your dishes but it is every difficult to get all the ingredienets in my Country. And thats why i am very gratefull for your dicission to do a 2 ingredient Series. Great work man, keep it up!

Looks very delicious. Perfect dish for breakfast.

Dude, I just love your videos so much! Your food looks so good and you're actually really soothing to listen to. Please keep it up!

First time I've seen a video from your channel and I love it. Every frame of this video is gold, and I'm definitely glad that the algorithm graced me with this.

I saw you on a TV programme on Astro. U wee trying different dishes from different cities in China. I saw this recipe of yours on RU-vid and thought I must try as I could felt your passion, enthusiasm from the TV programme and RU-vid. Oh my goodness it's the best version I ever had. A Big thank you. 😜😘

I love how calming your music is.

Stoked to have a vegetarian recipe! Love your videos!

During summer I purchase heirloom tomatoes from this roadside farmer's stand and make this dish. It's yummy. The dish you've made looks awesome. I'll have to add the spring onions and cornstarch slurry though.

A basic wok technique series is exactly what I need!

I had never heard of this tomato and egg dish in the US, but when I was studying in Beijing it quickly became a routine side item I'd pick up from the cafeteria. I'd get tomato and egg, soft tofu with spring onion, whatever meat and vegetable dishes were looking good, and rice.

So delicious. My fav breakfast.

I actually made some yesterday. This is probably my favorite dish of all time. Been eating it since I could remember eating food lol

This is my favorite because it’s simple and good.

I eat this often! This is one of my favorite comfort foods! Thanks for making this! ♥

The cornstarch slurry is the twist. Awesomely good!!!!

In the house unwell at the moment so thank you very much for these simple recipies latley. Look forward to more

Love this dishhh!!! Excited for more easy Asian cooking recipes during this dire time!

Done this recipe last night and it was really good and easy. We added some prawns since we had some leftovers. It is amazing how such a simple dish can be done so easily and fast.

Big smile on my face when I saw the title. 2 things immediately came to mind on this old favorite: 1. At big dinners this was the dish that all the fussy kids who wouldn't eat anything ate by the bowl full with their rice 😁 2. This dish is like water in the desert on days getting home late from work tired and starving. Sometimes I add some extra protein in there but what a 1 bowl meal!

Chinese cooking has always been intimidating to me. Just found your channel and love your casual, easy cooking style. Thank you for sharing your recipes!

That looks amazing. My mom was born in Mexico and she used to make a very similar dish when I was a kid. The technique is different, but I bet the result are the same. You just brought me back to childhood. Yum. 😊

Perfect quarantine food! And appropriate for my 7-month old too. I'm going to try this tonight. Thank you Adam!

Yessss would love a long series on this.

This looks amazing! My mom makes a cherry tomato and green onion frittata that's one of my favorite foods on the planet. Also seasoned very simply with just salt and pepper.

Love your vids! Also love how you explain why you do what you do so everything makes sense. 😀

I need all these recipes please. I’m super excited for this series! Basic, quick and easily available ingredients! Please and thank you!!

Yehehes! I've been waiting for basic/simple dishes from you. Hope you make more of these. Thank you!

Adam, I just love watching your videos! You really are the sweetest soul. You have an incredible wealth of knowledge, and I so appreciate you sharing it with us. Thank you!

I'm going to love this series!

Everyone has their own spin on this dish, whenever a friend offers to cook, this is what I request.

Thank you for amazing recipe. I will make tomorrow.

Winner! I love tomatoes and eggs!

Ok - your accent? Is amazing! Your knowledge is fantastic and I’m learning everyday!

Hi Adam. Here's my version. I chop scallions two ways, diced and shredded. Diced goes with the eggs and shredded goes with tomatoes. First loose scallion omelette with bit sugar and soy. Then tomatoes cooked with roasted minced black bean, garlic and ginger and splash of cognac, then scallion, cooking down a bit, then combining with the omelette and a gentle toss.

Love this video! Wok technique is so important; so much can be improved just by following a few basic principles. I look forward to you covering that for those who are new to this style of cooking.

Years ago I hosted a violinist from China and he made this dish. I could not believe how good it was.

This is very simple dish, but I love this. It is as though marriage of sweetness of egg and sour of tomato. It is good partner with steamed rice also. I will try to cook this by myself!

unrelated to the undoubtedly delicious recipe, this video is _so calming_

I actually made this one fir breakfast. But I added garlic and chili flakes. Then ate them with toast. Perfect!

I loved the explanations for the techniques and ingredients!

I used to order this item from my favorite restaurant all the time back in college. Now I can make it on my own.

Looking forward to this basic stir fry series!

I've been on an egg kick so I have been making my eggs with onion, tomato and jalapeno(Mexican style) so I can't wait to try this one!

Best tomato fried egg Video so far and I’m subscribing now. Thks 🍅

You recipes are always the perfect springboard for adventurous cooking. I've learned a lot from your tutorials. I've actually become bolder in my forray into chinese cooking, where previously, Id leave it to the restaurants. Im hoping one you'll tutorial the classic sweetcorn soup with the egg 'clouds' - delicious. This'll do for now for me to try... tomorrow for brunch. Thank you

Looking forwards to the series, I literally had tomatoes and eggs before watching the video! I LOVE how simple and quick it is to make too!

What a great idea! Thank you so much for another great series.

Hi ! Looking forward to your new series ....weeknight meals ! I will forward this to my children...they are always short on time. Thanks Adam!! With this lock down now, restaurants closed ....Your videos are timely . 👍🙏🏻🙏🏻

Yes, I would love to watch more videos in this series!

Hi Adam. Tried this today. Just great.

Thanks so much for this one Adam! I love this dish and after watching your video, I feel totally encouraged to improve my way on it 🙂❤️

Amazing explaination. I agree with cooking the tomatoes before cooking the eggs. It's a lot harder to have runnier eggs the other way around. The consistency isn't the same.

One of my favourites too when I'm in China. Having this with rice and brinjal stir fry is really satisfying. Thanks n look forward to your stir fry dishes.

wow really good and simple !

Wow such a simple recipe yet looks amazing! Definitely gotta try this.

We do ours with beef and garlic! I like to dice the spring onions and scramble them into the eggs. Also, call it a cheat, but I learned from my grandmother to add a few squirts of ketchup!

I did this recipe but with a cast iron and it turned out pretty well. I think the high even heat from the cast iron is similar to a wok.

Tried to improve my version of this for ages. Never occurred to me that frying the eggs first and put it aside makes lose flavour. Cool tip dude. Will try it this weekend.

Very nice. For some reason it made me think of another pretty simple dish, rarely seen in restuarants, but quite tasty - salted fish fried rice. Often with chicken.

Wow thanks so much for this recipe! I made it today for me and my boyfriend and we thought it was so good! I had chicken stock but I decided to just use water (I don't normally have chicken stock on hand) and I honestly had doubts (because when I searched other recipes of this, they had way more ingredients, maybe this wont be that good) but it turned out to be so delicious! Easy, no hassle preparation, no measuring, and by no means Im a cook, but I was able to just eyeball everything and it turned out so well! Definitely gonna make this regularly! I subscribed and looking forward to more from this easy stir-fry series :)

Thank you for this simple and amazing video, its so informative and well done from any point of view. I still wonder why would someone dislike this video though.

AHHH comfort food .... that's basically my staple when i was growing up because my late grandma only cooking for the two of us so no need anything fancy :) thanks for reminding me of her

I tried this recipe today during my quarantine period (I also added minced pork to it for extra protein). It was amazing! Thank you for the recipe!

This is the best recipe of eggs and tomatoes

i remember my grandmother making this for me... yum

Made it for lunch yesterday. Delicious!

Really is the ultimate comfort food!

I make this all of the time during gardening season. Clip off some chives from the herb garden, pick a few tomatoes from the tomato patch and in less than ten minutes...Lunch. Every now and then I may add a sprinkle of chicken powder or even a squirt of ketchup and a splash of soy sauce.
