Xin's Tomato Fried Rice

Xin's Tomato Fried Rice Recipe (with pictures and instructions, 7 steps in total). Chop the tomatoes into small cubes. Xin didn't peel them; the cubes were very small, so the skin wouldn't be noticeable when frying. If you prefer a more delicate texture, you can peel the tomatoes and make a cross-shaped cut on the surface with a knife (you can remove the skin after scalding it with boiling water); this is also a technique used in making soup.

If you prefer a better texture, you can peel the tomatoes and make a cross-shaped cut on the surface with a knife (you can remove the skin after scalding it with boiling water); this is also a key point for making soup.

    For added nutrition, you can also fry a sunny-side-up egg. Old Huang likes salted eggs, so Xin Xin didn't fry any, hehe. Then sprinkle some black sesame seeds on top to finish. For a better presentation and to make it look and smell delicious, you can put the fried rice in a bowl first, wait a few minutes, and then invert it onto a plate. Make sure to wait a few seconds! Otherwise, the rice will easily collapse.
