QQ noodles paired with your favorite seasonal fruits, along with cheese cubes and tempeh, make the flavor and texture richer and more layered. All fruits and other ingredients can be varied as you like. Other than the noodles, there's basically no need to use the stove, making it great for cleaning out the fridge. Cool and sweet, it's definitely the best meal for hot summer days.

This time I used grapes, flat peaches, and mango. You can also substitute with other berries, apples, bananas, pineapples, etc. It's not recommended to use fresh citrus fruits, as they might taste bitter, but canned citrus fruits are a different story. Cheese is optional, and tempeh can be replaced with ham, shredded chicken, etc. Do whatever makes you happy 🥰.
