- This dish is one of the most popular home-cooked Chinese dishes but it's not one that's often found at restaurants. That's because it's so simple that anyone can cook it at home.
If you want to learn how to cook Asian dishes, start out with things like this and go for the restaurant-style dishes later.

Oh this is odd, for the first time I actually have the required ingredients in my kitchen, I can actually try this awesome!!
Lol
and this time I don't have the equipment (wok) :(
@@juanbrits3002 Lol, your normal pan can still do.
But I have a wok so maybe it'll taste different lol
A normal pan would be just fine, just heat it properly.
I think the wok makes it easier for your hand to flip the rice, it’s sides are turned upwards and catches what you flip. It would probably take a little more effort to make sure the rice doesn’t fall out of the pan if you use a pan.
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...
Tomatoes and eggs, the dish every Chinese college kid learns from their mom.
Mum used to cook this when we were small. Not the biggest fan but hey its simple.. :)
Yupppp. I add sesame oil at the end too and it makes it sooo good.
my mom adds ketchup at the end, so she doesn't have to manually add the sugar etc
the first dish we do
Same in germany :) its called scrambled eggs with tomato (tomatenrührei)^^
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.
Egg whites added if you want to get extra swole diked
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!
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.
Literally excited when he says "im gonna do a series with two ingredients" f yess
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.
It seems that every culture with access to eggs and tomatoes has some version of this dish. It's universally delicious, satisfying, and comforting.
Years ago I hosted a violinist from China and he made this dish. I could not believe how good it was.
My grandpa made this for me as a kid. Still my favorite. I still make this and I believe my grandpa likes my version 😊
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!
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!
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 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
4:00 to 4:30 - the music and the sounds are just so soothing!! ❤️
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!!!
Everyone has their own spin on this dish, whenever a friend offers to cook, this is what I request.
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.
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 🙏
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!
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!
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!
Hey, as long as it's good to you and you're not selling it as "authentic Chinese food"... that's all that matters.
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.
Awesome recipe! As a college student I would love to see more easy stir fry work recipes
Feel like this is the first time I've actually seen you try the dish at the end. Worth the wait, very satisfying.
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 :)
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!
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.
this is literally my childhood! Love these simple homey recipes!
I actually made this one fir breakfast. But I added garlic and chili flakes. Then ate them with toast. Perfect!
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.
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'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!
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.
Heirlooms are GMO. Why would you buy them?
moonbladem the whole point of heirloom tomatoes are that they aren’t GMO. Dont listen to this guy
@@noahaikens2862 Thanks, Noah Aikens. I really shouldn't feed the trolls.
moonbladem His name says it all.
@@ChezJohn John Lemons yeah I noticed LOL!
I actually made some yesterday. This is probably my favorite dish of all time. Been eating it since I could remember eating food lol
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.
I used to order this item from my favorite restaurant all the time back in college. Now I can make it on my own.
I’ve found that if you cook Asian dishes with tomato, an average tomato - rather than some vine-ripened heirloom - will do. Learned this the hard way when I cooked a great sambal telur(egg sambal) for a Indonesian dinner and it was pretty much ruined because I used the best vine-ripened tomatoes Sydney had to offer. The dish was way too sweet and totally like somewhat strange Italian. I was actually glad to discover this, because I finally found a use for fairly tasteless supermarket tomatoes: when you cook them they’re not too bad.
The production quality...gorgeous!
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. 😊
My first dish that I had when I landed in China after long flight. I am a massive fan of tomatoes and felt like a drop of heaven.
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.
Cooking the eggs first lessens the need for washing the wok. You could just set the cooked eggs aside and start cooking the tomatoes. But yeah, flavor won't be as great.
@@denchua I don't mind cleaning. I do mind if my eggs tastes worse. Someone values the tomato flavour more so perhaps they'd prefer doing the eggs first.
@@denchua after evaporating most of the water in your tomatoes you can just dump the raw egg mixture on top. No extra water or starch needed.
@@ilsunnylo3562 exactly how i would do it. I dont really see the need to remove the tomatoes and then adding more oil when you already have oil in the tomato mixture. That's a lot of oil.
The sound quality in your videos is terrific.
A basic wok technique series is exactly what I need!
I can sum it up in one word BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for another great recipe Adam
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.
Adam deserves to be added to the list of the great presenters. Mr. Rogers, (love others) Steve Irwin (love animals), Bob Ross (love yourself) Adam Liaw (love food) His videos always make me smile, feel relaxed, and get excited about cooking new and interesting dishes. I cannot fathom why Adam isn't more famous, he should have 10 millions subscribers!
The cornstarch slurry is the twist. Awesomely good!!!!
I'm going to love this series!
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!
This is the best recipe of eggs and tomatoes
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 need all these recipes please. I’m super excited for this series! Basic, quick and easily available ingredients! Please and thank you!!
Stoked to have a vegetarian recipe! Love your videos!
I eat this often! This is one of my favorite comfort foods! Thanks for making this! ♥
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!
Wow i learnt something new i never knew tomatoes were big in Chinese cooking
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.
Perfect quarantine food! And appropriate for my 7-month old too. I'm going to try this tonight. Thank you Adam!
Love this dishhh!!! Excited for more easy Asian cooking recipes during this dire time!
It tastes much better than it looks. Don't let the simplicity of it fool you.
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 CZcams and thought I must try as I could felt your passion, enthusiasm from the TV programme and CZcams. Oh my goodness it's the best version I ever had. A Big thank you. 😜😘
Every kids love this, we do similar thing in Vietnam 🤤🤤❤️
Eyy chao ban same here
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!
So delicious. My fav breakfast.
Winner! I love tomatoes and eggs!
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
Grew up in north eastern China, this is home to me.
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.
Love your vids! Also love how you explain why you do what you do so everything makes sense. 😀
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!
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.
Memories coming back..... Holdin my tears back.....
We make a similar dish in greece but we use fresh tomato sauce instead of tomatoes cut in pieces and I guess we cook it a bit longer... Its one of my favorite dishes so I cant wait to try the Chinese version of tomato and eggs
This is the staple of staples. Like you just grow up eating this. This is so staple I have a family friend who eats this every day. No kidding. XD
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!
In the house unwell at the moment so thank you very much for these simple recipies latley. Look forward to more
I am Filipino. I've been eating a simplified version of this dish since I was a kid. I think it's pretty common here.
This is my favorite because it’s simple and good.
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!
My favorite, if I don't like tomato, I can reduce it, if I'm out of salt or sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce all works as well. I can also make it a little bit runnier, turn it into soup
Yehehes! I've been waiting for basic/simple dishes from you. Hope you make more of these. Thank you!
"National Dish of China"... only 2 simple ingredients... yet taste so yummy 😋😋😋
Just had my version of mater eggs this morning! When I do it Asian style I do prefer a tiny bit garlic. But plain is great and a staple. It’s very surprising how once combined the eggs soak up tomatoes!
I can’t believe how much I love this recipe.
When researching this dish, it’s amazing how each family does it a tiny bit different.
Some chunk the tomato and some
Dice- some add garlic some spring onion, some hard cook eggs and some gentle and then some cook them down a lot and some barely. But
I’ll admit first time I’ve seen cornstarch slurry. Can totally eat it Asian style with rice or sometimes I like to Nashville style where I make it and eat with fried corn, bacon and biscuits. Nommy!
unrelated to the undoubtedly delicious recipe, this video is _so calming_
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.
Yessss would love a long series on this.
I love how calming your music is.
I'm in quarentine and really appreciate the simple wok dishes you're planning on doing. I love cooking with my wok, but gonna be trying to keep from using or cooking too much until its over.
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!
Thank you for amazing recipe. I will make tomorrow.
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.
I ate that when I was in China, it’s very delicious with some rice 🍚
I was raised by a single mother who had 3 jobs. We had this a lot growing up because it was what we could afford and easy for her to make. I love this dish.
