Ingredients

250 g ground pork
1 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp SIDS SALT & PEPPER
2 tbsp diced shallots
¼ cup wood ear mushrooms, chopped (soaked until soft)
½ cup bean thread noodles, cut 5 cm (soaked until soft)
4 large ripe tomatoes
Can of Tuimato sauce
1 spring onion, thinly diced
Rice bran oil
Minced garlic for the sauté

Directions

If you cut the tomato at the top, there’s a lot of stuff that may cook unevenly and take a long time. By cutting it in half, you’re able to use both halves and the smaller amount of stuffing results in shorter and even cooking. Save the cored tomatoes for the sauce.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the pork, fish sauce, sugar, SIDS SALT & PEPPER, shallots, mushrooms and noodles.
Stuff just to the top of the tomatoes, leaving a flat surface for even cooking.
In a large sauté pan, heat oil and garlic on medium high heat. Add the stuffed tomatoes with the stuffing side down first. Also add the cored tomatoes around as well. Cook until the meat is nicely golden brown and flip once. The cored tomatoes will also soften and turn in beautiful sauce. If you like more sauce, supplement with tomato sauce. Season with fish sauce or SIDS SALT & PEPPER to taste. Garnish with thinly diced spring onions.
Enjoy with rice.
