Notes

  • I usually use tomatoes from our garden because it tastes sweeter than grocery stores. And, don’t need to add too much sugar. 
  • Don’t over cook the eggs. 
  • Different brands of ketchup will be slightly different, adjust sugar to your taste.
  • Some people like more sauce, you can add water and cornstarch slurry. Then adjust ketchup, sugar and salt to your taste.
