Fried Egg & Tomato

Here's yet another recipe for you, friend. Can you tell I really enjoy cooking? 😀
This recipe was first introduced to me by my Chinese roommate from college. It makes for a quick, easy lunch or supper. The following measurements are enough for probably a two-person meal with some leftovers. (I made this for myself and had leftovers for a couple days.) You can of course adjust the recipe to fit your family size. 
Also, if you can't find the Udon noodle, I've heard that egg noodles work, but I haven't tried it. 

Ingredients: 

-2 tomatoes
-1-2 bundles of Japanese Udon noodles 
-3 eggs
-soy sauce
-Ketchup
Here's what the udon noodles look like. 
Instructions: 
Bring water in a pot to a boil and add the Udon noodles. Meanwhile, cut up the tomatoes. Cook and scramble the eggs and add the tomatoes to the eggs. Cook tomatoes slightly and drizzle a little soy sauce and ketchup over the blend. (For this exact recipe I use 2 packets of ketchup.) You don't want to cook the tomatoes too long else they'll become soggy. 
When the noodles are done, strain them. (I also rinse off my noodles.) 
Add the eggs and tomatoes over the noodles in a bowl. You can drizzle a little more soy sauce over everything and mix together if you'd like. Then enjoy! 😋
Variations: I’ve added lettuce to this blend and cooked it slightly with the eggs and tomatoes.  
Shrimp also tastes great in it. 

 If you try this recipe, I would love to know how you liked it!
