On today’s menu we have a super easy tomato and egg stir fry recipe! Traditionally this dish is served with rice, but since I love noodles I decided that it would make a great sauce.
I use to beg my mom to make this dish almost every single day. That was how obsessed I was with it. This was actually the very first dish l learned how to make because of how easy it is. Whenever I would have to cook for myself growing up this was what I would make!
This dish is so versatile. It can be used as a pasta sauce, topping on toast, served with rice, and even enjoyed on its own. By its self it is a very low calorie and low carb recipe.
Key ingredients for the tomato and egg stir fry noodles:
- Tomatoes
- If you have any home grown tomatoes on hand then use them now! I used mine from my garden and I think it makes this dish a little extra special! If not any tomatoes will work, even cherry tomatoes!
- Eggs
- I used vital farms eggs. They are pasture raised, meaning the chickens can roam around and eat non-GMO feed! These eggs have a very noticeable taste that is so much better.
- Green onion
- This fresh herd is super important and I definitely do not recommend subbing or leaving it out. The flavor combo of green onions and tomatoes is next level!
- Soy sauce
- A little soy sauce goes a long way in this dish. I recommend pushing the stir fry ingredients to the edge of the pan and pouring the soy sauce directly onto the hot pan so that it can fry up a bit. This adds so much more flavor than pouring it straight into the stir fry.
- Sugar
- The sugar helps balance out the acidity in the tomatoes. Don’t leave this out.
- White pepper and salt
- White pepper is a staple in Chinese cooking! It has a milder flavor compared to black pepper, however if you don’t have any white pepper you can sub with black pepper.
