Directions
My mother-in-law makes this whenever tomatoes are in season. And, that’s exactly why I made it. I had two separate friends give me tomatoes and I wound up several dozen tomatoes. I wasn’t in the mood to make spaghetti sauce (besides, the tomatoes I had weren’t the best sauce tomatoes), but I did think of my mother-in-law and decided to make a Chinese dinner night. So, I made this dish and two others which will soon be published: Chinese Chicken with Tomatoes, and Chinese Beef Patties.
So serve this at breakfast, lunch or dinner. Your choice. Enjoy!
