Ingredients

• 2 large frozen tomatoes
• 2 eggs
• 2 tbsp chili oil ((Half chili, half oil; or 1 tbsp cooking oil for non-spicy version))
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 portion fresh noodles ((120 to 150 grams; 4 to 5.3 oz))
• 2 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1/2 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp ketchup ((or 1 tsp tomato paste))
• 1/2 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon ((optional))
• 1 piece Pan-fried spam
• 1/2 cup Vegetables ((e.g., a handful of beansprouts or lettuce))
• 1 tbsp Chopped green onions or cilantro

Instructions

1. 1

   Soak 2 frozen tomatoes in cold water for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Combine all the sauce ingredients (listed above) in a small bowl and stir until well blended.

3. 3

   Once the tomatoes are softened, peel off their skin and chop into bite-sized pieces.

4. 4

   Heat 2 tbsp chili oil (or 1 tbsp regular oil) in a nonstick pan over medium heat.

5. 5

   Gently crack 2 eggs into the pan and sauté until both sides are golden and crispy, with a runny yolk (or fry sunny-side up eggs if preferred). If using spam, sauté it together with the eggs. Remove the eggs and spam and set them aside on a plate.

6. 6

   In the same pan, use the leftover oil to sauté 1 tsp minced garlic over medium heat for 30 seconds.

7. 7

   Add chopped tomatoes and pan-fry for 1 minute.

8. 8

   Pour in the prepared sauce, stir to combine.

9. 9

   Add 1 portion of fresh noodles directly into the pan. Use chopsticks to gently spread the noodles over the tomato sauce.

10. 10

    Cover the pan with a lid and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, or follow your noodle’s package instructions.

11. 11

    The tomatoes will release water to create a broth. If you want more soup, add some hot water to adjust based on your preference.

12. 12

    Place the fried eggs on top of the noodles. Add your favorite toppings like pan-fried spam, beansprouts, or greens. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro.
