Got tomatoes and eggs? Make this!

Please stop confusing me with Randy Marsh!

I’ve made this 3-4 times now and I just love it. Today I paired this with edamame too for extra fiber - and it was just as yum!

Love the idea

I made this with basmati rice and Thai marinated flanken short ribs. It was a hit.

This was the first dish I learned after the basic frying an egg. And was basically my breakfast 60-70% of the time when I was in college.

I saw this dish on the menu of a hip Chinese restaurant in Portland and didn't order it because I didn't think eggs and tomatoes would be all that exciting. Lucky for me, our friends ordered it and we ate family style. What a revelation! I think the version I've had used additional seasonings like sherry and ginger. The flavor was great -- more sophisticated than I ever thought eggs and tomatoes could be.

I come back to this video every time I make this dish.. still my favorite recipe

You said "Because I'm Thai" (adding nam pla). I heard "Because I'm high".😃

Mine didn’t turn out as good as this, but was definitely better than my earlier efforts… 👍🏼

Tomato and egg was one of the first Chinese dishes I ever tried even before going there, and after spending nearly 10 years there, it is still an all time favorite of mine. Its considered comfort food for good reason. I DO like doing something many would consider strange...I like cold tomato and egg. Still over piping hot white rice of course, but something about the way the tomatoes juices taste when cold works even better with the rice in my opinion.

Funny. The Chinese add a bit of Liaojiu to remove the "fishy" smell of eggs and the Thai add fish sauce to them.

I do it the other way and still get a juicy dish. You cook the egg almost done and set it aside, put the tomatoes and cover them so they get soft but not let the water evaporate, and then put the egg back in to finish cooking and soak up some of the tomato liquid.

Very similar to French piperade

This is my comfort food and when I don’t know what to it, this is my ‘go-to’

This dish tastes 10x better with buttered toast and or toasted sesame oil drizzled on top. Used to eat it every day for weeks until my schedule didn't allow me to

Hii Pailin, just wanted to leave a note of appreciation here for how wonderfully amazing 🤩use of leftovers of the fridge this was. I am a medical student living on my own and cooking is something I enjoy doing as a break from my studies. But amidst all the hectic schedule of uni and studies, it is really hard to find time to cook regularly and I am often left with rotting vegetables in the fridge that I will end up throwing away :(( This recipe really saved the 3 tomatoes and 4 eggs I had in my fridge! 😮‍💨❤

Also, coming from someone who is very picky since young when it comes to eggs (just not a fan of eggs 🤮), this recipe was simply phenomenal, with the simplest of ingredients! Thank you so much for your tips. ❤

Just tried for the first time. Soooo good and sooooo easy! Thank you for all the tips Pai ❤❤❤

I made this, it turned out so well!

when i cooked it, it looked like the most unappetizing food i have ever cooked, but it tasted amazing. So i probably messed up at some point but it still tasted good.

Im a lazy chicken and tomato farmer... thanks for the recipe :0

yumz! I 😘fish sauce

I wish I had a real kitchen...

Excellent. Thank you.

"(...) if it burns you...👌" - lmao😂

I'm gonna cook my next omelette with fish sauce. I should give it a try. Thanks 👍

Can i fertilize your eggs?

Here I was thinking you were going to say "juicy" so often, but with including "jooozy", you only said it 6 times! Also, love the idea of tomatoes first and then the eggs, because I've done it the other way around and the eggs always ended up a bit overdone; definitely need to try this method!

❤😮

Just made and literally eating this right now for the first time - you might have "reinvented" the way I eat breakfast! This is DELICIOUS!

4:47 I often hear "look at that" on women food vloggers. Great job! I'm definitely cooking it. 👍

no salt????

If I cooked this I'd get salmonella!!

Growing up one Auntie would make egg and tomato but routinely burnt the eggs to the point where I refused to eat it again for years. This and other Chinese channels make it look so tasty so I might have to give it another try cooking it myself

I just watched the ATK version, and this looks far tastier and appetizing than that one.

Definitely classic Cantonese home cooking. It needs to be saucy and the eggs have to be in big pieces to be substantial, and some sugar to reduce the acidity from the tomatoes.

I've made this... If done right, it's so beautiful u almost don't want to eat it when finished...

ALMOST. 😏

I would think your correct - the way you do it would let the Tomato Juices join with Liquid parts of the Scrambled Eggs and sorta, you know... meld that Tomato into the Eggs. I always add a few Tablespoons with the Egg when I do Scrambled or Omelettes. : )

I cooked egg and tomato the Chinese way that is egg first.
Will definitely try this way; seems sooo yummmy; thank you.

I did it today and i added a dash of chicken bouillon and top it with a bit of sesame oil and it was delicious 😋
