This recipe sounds very much like Dr. Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham but it’s great for breakfast and for lunch and is extremely quick to make – double up if you have more guests.  Instead of serving it with bread or toast, why not try it with rice this time – the Yunnan way? We realise that green tomatoes aren’t always very easy to find here in the west, but make an effort and try this recipe for a change – there’s no reason why we have to eat eggs only at breakfast and this is super for lunch – after all, the lunchtime omelette is really quite tired now, isn’t it? Eggs are easy to prepare, easy on the pocket and easy on your time.
