Ingredients

• 2 portions wavy noodles
• 2 medium tomatoes, peeled
• 200 g ground meat
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 0.5 cup water
• 1 tbsp cooking oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• to taste salt

Instructions

1. 1Slice the tomatoes

   

   Take the peeled tomato and place it securely on a wooden cutting board. Using a sharp kitchen knife, carefully slice the tomato into small, even pieces.

   Tip: Use a sharp knife to prevent the soft tomato skin and flesh from slipping or squishing while cutting.
2. 2Prepare the sauce ingredients

   

   Measure all the necessary ingredients for the sauce, including soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, ketchup, sugar, salt, and cornstarch, and add them directly into a clear glass bowl.

   Tip: Measuring your sauce ingredients beforehand ensures a smooth and quick cooking process without burning anything in the pan.
3. 3Mix the sauce with water

   

   Pour an appropriate amount of water into the glass bowl containing the sauce mixture. Stir the ingredients thoroughly with a spoon until everything is fully combined and smooth.

   Tip: Make sure the cornstarch and sugar are completely dissolved in the liquid to prevent any lumps from forming in your sauce.
4. 4Cook the ground meat

   

   Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat, then add the ground meat. Stir-fry the meat continuously until it changes color and browns evenly.

   Tip: Break up any large clumps of ground meat with your spatula as you stir-fry to ensure even cooking.
5. 5Add aromatics

   

   Add finely chopped green onions and minced garlic directly into the pan with the cooked meat. Stir-fry the mixture together until the aromatics release their rich fragrance.

   Tip: Add the garlic and green onions after the meat has partially cooked so the garlic doesnt burn.
6. 6Cook the tomatoes

   

   Add the previously cut tomato pieces into the pan with the meat and aromatics. Continue to stir-fry everything together until the tomatoes soften and release their natural juices.

   Tip: Pressing down slightly on the tomato pieces with your spatula can help them break down faster and create a richer base.
7. 7Simmer the sauce

   

   Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the pan with the cooked ingredients and simmer over medium heat until the sauce thickens and reduces.

   Tip: Simmering allows the flavors to meld together and concentrate into a rich glaze.
