Tomato Egg Noodles (蕃茄蛋炒麵)

Tomato Egg Noodles is a concoction of all of our favourite food. Tomato stir fried with egg (蕃茄炒蛋) is a simple humble dish but a national favourite in Hong Kong. So, I thought combining this dish with slippery noodles and our favourite SPAM (luncheon meat) might be an idea. It turned out to be a superb combination of flavours - the slippery smooth noodles absorb all of the sweet and sour taste of the tomato egg sauce and taste great with the crispy and salty SPAM. Substitute with bacon if you don't like SPAM.Hmm...I think Tomato Egg Noodles might become another of my favourite noodle dishes.
