Pancit Lomi

Pancit Lomi is a Filipino dish composed of meat and noodles. A great snack, lunch or dinner. Another version of pancit but with thick soup. Simple to make and delicious.
​They key to a great Lomi is not on the noodles. Lomi noodles can be purchased refrigerated, cooked and ready. The soup must have full of flavor and I suggest to make your own pork broth which is very easy to make. Just boil pork bones in water with salt and boil for at least an hour or more. The longer, the better. I promise it is worth it.

For this recipe, I used pork neck bones to make the broth. The bones has some meat with fats on it and that will make your soup flavorful. For the pork meat, you can use shoulder, neck or butt area. If you are in hurry and would like to make a quick soup,  you can use pork cube instead.
Liver is another ingredient for a great Lomi, but you can omit if you are not a fan of it. Squid balls is another but I suggest not to skip it. Kikiam can also be added. The more meat  it has, the more tasty your Lomi will be. Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think by leaving a comment below. Enjoy.
