Recipe Notes
- Grape tomatoes are of Southeast Asian origin. Similar to a shape of a grape, they are red and sweeter than regular tomatoes.Â
- Cherry tomatoes are a little bigger than grape tomatoes. However, cherry tomatoes are more watery and have thinner skin.Â
- Tomatoes are one of the best plant-based sources of umami flavor. Combining two kinds of tomatoes for this recipe makes it twice as good for you to enjoy.
