Tomato and Egg Stir Fry

Tomato and egg stir fry is a common dish in my family. I always stock up on tomatoes and eggs so when I run out of ideas what to cook, this is it.  I removed the skin of the tomatoes prior to frying as it is simply too chewy for the little ones and it takes them ages to swallow.  Pampered?  Maybe...

I used to cook this with garlic but due to health reasons, I have to cut down on garlic intake so I replaced it with shallots instead and added some dried shrimps too.  Dried shrimps really helped to flavour this dish further and the kids prefer this version too.
