- 250 g fresh noodles
- 3-4 tomatos finely chopped
- 5 mushroom sliced (optional)
- 3 clove garlic sliced
- 1 egg whisked
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon oil

- 2 tablespoon chopped spring onion
Prepare Tomato Sauce: Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.Stir-fry garlic and mushrooms until fragrant.Add tomato and 1 cup of water, season with salt and pepper.Cook until the tomato softens.
Cook Egg and Thicken Sauce: Pour in the beaten egg, waiting 10-20 seconds until it solidifies.Dissolve cornstarch in two tablespoons of water and stir into the tomato sauce.
Prepare Noodles and Final Assembly: Boil fresh noodles in boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Mix the sauce with the noodles. Garnish with spring onions and serve.
- Noodles: I prefer using fresh Chinese noodles, but you can also use dried Chinese noodles or your favorite pasta—it all works well.
- Cornstarch: Cornstarch is used to make the sauce thicker, so the flavor sticks to the noodles. If you like a more liquid version, you can leave it out and add more water to the sauce.
- White pepper powder: White pepper powder is commonly used in Chinese cooking because it’s mild and not too strong. If you don’t have it, you can use regular black pepper powder as a substitute.
- Mushroom: Mushrooms give the sauce a little texture, but you can skip them if you want.
- Spring onion: Spring onion is used to garnish and add a bit of flavor. If you don’t have it, you can use chives instead.
