If you like tomatoes, then I think you will like this Chinese tomato, potato, and rice stew recipe. Tomatoes are rich in vitamins, and a healthy diet will strengthen our resistance. When you have a portion of leftover rice in your refrigerator, how do you want to cook it? If you don’t want to spend more time cooking dishes, then you can add some side dishes to the rice and let them cook in the same pot, which will allow you to get a lunch or dinner faster.

I add tomato sauce to the recipe to enhance the color and tomato flavor. If you don’t want tomato sauce, you can add more tomatoes to increase the tomato flavor of the broth. We boil the potatoes separately because they take longer to cook than the other ingredients. So, we boil the potatoes in advance until they are 70% to 80% cooked before adding them to the tomatoes to finish cooking.

  1. It’s really great to see Chinese recipes that are unfamiliar to westerners like me. What exactly do you mean by “tomato sauce?” In the US, that would mean an Italian-style tomato sauce with seasonings like basil and oregano. If you have a link to the sort of product you mean, that would probably clear it up easily.
