story behind
 
Seeing my mother finishing up the soft-cooked omelette rice I cooked, my family and I were relieved and very happy. Recalling childhood moments, my father passed away in an accident, and my mother took care of me and my two younger brothers on her own. The family of five lived in poverty, with only light meals and tea every day. Only on special occasions did my mother cook tomatoes and eggs? Squid for us to eat. Although it seems like an ordinary dish now, it always felt like a rare delicacy at the time. Everyone rushed to eat it. Over time, this dish became a happy memory for our family.
 
I remember one time I was very unhappy due to the pressure of homework and exams, and my appetite also decreased. My mother specially made a tomato sauce omelette rice for me, and paired it with the tomato egg red fish, which is only available during the holidays. It was sour and sweet. The sweet taste immediately increased my appetite and lifted my spirits.
 
Time flies by and decades have passed since I learned how to make soft meals, which has greatly improved my aging mother’s problem of losing interest in eating due to dysphagia. My mother's health was getting worse day by day. In order to improve her appetite, I specially designed this heart-warming omelette rice dish to turn the happy childhood memories into the taste on the tip of my tongue, and reminisce with my mother. After I got married, I made a homemade "Fresh Yam and Strawberry Jelly". My mother and children loved it and it became a gourmet masterpiece in my family. The years have taken away many memories, but they can never take away the love and the warmth of home that our mother gave us!
