Juicy Tomato on Rice


from: リゾットみたいなつゆだくトマト丼 at vege dining 野菜のごはん
I'm a huge fan of tomatoes, especially cooked ones. Apparently, when you heat up your tomatoes, it increases the amount of the nutrient called lycopene in the tomatoes, which is an antioxidant. So I'm assuming this dish is pretty healthy, also with the combination of tomato and olive oil. And it tastes good! Here's the super easy recipe:

Ingredients (serves 1)
1 big red tomato (200g/7oz)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 serving (sticky) rice

Directions
Hull the tomato, put it in a small pot with olive oil and salt. Cover the pot with a lid and heat it over medium heat. When steam starts to escape, reduce the heat to low to steam for 15-20 minutes. When it's done, you see the clear juice out of the tomato and it's soft and nice when you poke it. Add soy sauce and put it on top of rice to serve.

I substituted the rice with rolled oats, because I had tons of it to use up. I just picked the whole grain oats over white rice because I usually like it better. It tasted good with oatmeal too, but I'm sure the juice covers better over rice and the texture of rice would go better with the runny juice.
