Tomato Pork


Tomato Egg has become a regular fixture in my home menu and Tomato Pork will be soon. As I mentioned before according to healthline.com tomatoes are the major dietary source of the antioxidant lycopene, which has been linked to many health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and cancer. They are also a great source of vitamin C, potassium, folate and vitamin K. So it will be beneficial to eat lots of tomatoes, whether raw or cooked.

When my husband asked me to cook Tomato Pork, I was thinking 'Huh?' I have never heard of Tomato Pork. How do I cook it? He described what he wanted to me and here it is.

Ingredients:

  • 2 red tomatoes
  • 200 g lean pork, sliced
  • 1 stalk of spring onions, cut into 1-inch length
  • salt and light soy sauce to taste.
The method:
  • Wash and cut 2 tomatoes into thin wedges.
  • Heat up wok with some oil.
  • When the oil is hot, put in the pork slices. Stir until they are cook. Dish out and set aside.
  • Next,
  •  put in the tomatoes. Stir and use the ladle to press the tomatoes to flatten them. Let them soften.
  • When the tomatoes have softened, pour the pork back into the wok.
  • Stir the pork slices with the mashed tomatoes.
  • Season with salt and light soy sauce.
  • Sprinkle the spring onions into the wok and stir.
  • The dish is ready for serving.
