Pancit Lomi is hearty, tasty, and the ultimate comfort food! Made with fresh egg noodles, chicken, and vegetables, it makes a great midday snack or dinner meal.
This pancit lomi cost me a good 20 minutes of overseas call to the Philippines. You see, I’ve made this noodle soup regularly over the years, but on my trip back home last May, one of my aunts made a huge pot for our afternoon merienda, and it was beyond delicious!
The lomi she cooked was very simple with just simple add-ons of chicken, liver, eggs, napa cabbage, and carrots, but it had a certain depth of flavor, an “it” factor you might say, that I couldn’t place my finger on. So this afternoon, in between her halo, ano kamo, halo, halo, di kita marinig (hello, what, hello, hello, I can’t hear you), I discovered her secret ingredient: crab and corn soup mix!
If you’re in the mood for a pancit lomi, there’s no need to drive to your lomi haus! It’s so easy and quick to make at home, you’ll be enjoying a piping bowl in no time!
Thick and hearty with loads of meat, vegetables, and a flavorful broth, this chicken noodle soup makes a filling midday snack or light meal. It’s the ultimate comfort food!
