Tea-Infused Peaches

A comforting bowl of tomato and beef brisket thick soup noodles paired with sweet, sour, and refreshing tea-infused peaches for a vibrant summer meal.

Ingredients

• 200 g fresh white noodles
• 250 g beef brisket or beef slices
• 3 frozen tomatoes
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 2 tbsp light soy sauce
• 3 cloves garlic
• 100 g broccoli
• 4 pcs shrimp paste or shrimp balls
• 1 boiled egg
• 2 hard peaches
• 1 packet black tea powder
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• to taste salt
• to taste green onions

Instructions

1. 1Marinate the tea-infused peaches

   

   Place peach slices into a white bowl together with a small packet of black tea powder, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and maple syrup, then mix well and chill in the refrigerator.

   Tip: Make sure to mix the syrup and lemon evenly with the peaches so the flavor infuses properly during chilling.
2. 2Thaw and peel the frozen tomatoes

   

   Soak the frozen tomatoes in warm water for a short moment so that the skins can be peeled off directly and effortlessly.

   Tip: Using frozen tomatoes is a great shortcut because they release their juices much easier when cooking.
3. 3Chop the peeled tomatoes

   

   Transfer the peeled tomatoes onto a cutting board and chop them into small pieces using a knife.

   Tip: Chop them finely to help them break down completely into a rich soup base.
4. 4Sauté the garlic

   

   Place minced garlic into a heated pot with oil and stir-fry until fragrant.

   Tip: Keep the heat moderate so the garlic infuses the oil without burning.
5. 5Melt the chopped tomatoes

   

   Add the chopped frozen tomatoes directly into the pot with the garlic so they melt down immediately and release their juices.

   Tip: Frozen tomatoes melt quickly and create an abundant, flavorful base liquid for the soup.
6. 6Season the tomato base

   

   Stir in a little salt, tomato paste, sugar, oyster sauce, and light soy sauce into the simmering tomato mixture.

   Tip: Adjust the sugar and soy sauce according to your personal taste preferences.
7. 7Cook the noodles in broth

   

   Pour water into the pot, bring the mixture to a boil, and add the fresh white noodles straight into the rich tomato broth.

   Tip: Fresh noodles are best for this recipe, eliminating the need to add extra water starch for thickening.
8. 8Sear the beef slices

   

   Place sliced beef strips into a separate frying pan to pan-sear and render out the excess oil.

   Tip: You can also put the beef slices directly into the noodles to cook if preferred.
9. 9Assemble and serve

   

   Add blanched broccoli, shrimp paste, and seared beef slices into the pot with the noodles, mix everything thoroughly, and serve in a bowl.

   Tip: Make sure the noodles are simmered properly on one side while handling the toppings.
