Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute cherry tomatoes for Roma tomatoes.

    Comfort food, loved by all. Used Au Lac vegan fish sauce. I used cherry tomatoes instead of chopped roma - if you do this, make sure to halve or quarter the tomatoes before adding them to the wok. If you don't (and I didn't), the tomatoes won't immediately burst and won't create a sauce.

    Not bad, but pretty bland and boring.

    Delicious, savory, and complex yet also comforting, these eggs are fabulous, and they are simple enough I can imagine eating them almost any time. I made this with fresh garden tomatoes but the technique would work well with so-so tomatoes also. The flavor is satisfying both to those of us who like a more savory breakfast (me) as well as those who want soft, relatively bland, comfort food in the morning (most of my family). Don't let the list of ingredients put you off; this is a fast and delicious meal for any time of day, whenever you need something satisfying in a hurry. Also good with a sprinkling of chiles or herbs on top.

    Good comfort-food type dish. Seasoning well after cooking helped the otherwise mild flavors come alive. Worked fine with so-so tomatoes - I'll look forward to trying it again with really good ones. I didn't have the optional fish sauce on hand, but I think it'd be great for adding another flavor layer. Making a half-recipe worked fine. Recipe suggests serving with plain white rice, but I enjoyed eating it with a spicy, tomato-y fried rice - the mild eggs balanced out the spicy rice really nicely.
