Simple but very delicious, this tomato and egg stir-fry is truly a national dish adored by most households in China…

Here’s the basic stir fry instructions, feel free to add any protein to this like a fried egg or some spicy Lemongrass Vietnamese Beef (as shown).

These are not traditional egg rolls but a fun way to make a veg friendly fried appetizer. I got the idea from having left over kimchi/tofu dumpling batter which I later added some extra fillings typical with vegetarian egg rolls like cabbage to make these egg rolls.
