- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- ½ tsp sugar
- 2 cups chicken stock (or water/ vegetable stock)

steps:
- Prepare ingredients by whisking eggs in a bowl and dicing tomatoes. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a wok or pan and add beaten eggs. On high heat, stir-fry the egg until it sets and use a spatula to break the egg into chunks. Remove and set aside.
- Add some oil to a pot and add diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until tomato paste dissolves and tomatoes have softened.

- Increase heat back to medium-high, add cooked eggs, noodles and vegetables. Enjoy!
tips to make tomato egg udon noodle soup:
- Use frozen udon rather than pre-cooked package udon, as they have a firmer and chewier texture.
- Add cooked noodles to the tomato soup rather than cooking it in the soup, as the noodles could add extra starch to the soup (unless you prefer that).
