This is inspired from a NYTimes cooking recipe – an app that I have been scouring for inspiration instead of wasting time on Instagram.
I saw a tomato rice recipe that inspired me to take a twist on it. Tomato and soy sauce is a wonderful combination and not used enough in my opinion.
The tomatoes are blistered gently in a pan with flavours of ginger and garlic, and the a touch of soy sauce, with scrambled eggs, rice, veggies (mushroom works best here in my opinion), spring onions and toasted black sesame seeds – a beautiful umami dish.
