Lomi Noodle Soup Recipe

Posted by relentless at Thursday, August 12, 2010 0 comments
I learned about this recipe when I was in College. This is one of my father's favorite dish. During semestral break I usually go back to my Hometown. And almost always pop's will ask me to buy this noodle soup from a restaurant at the market. That day, when I came there to buy 'twas closed but the owner said if I could wait a lil longer she will cook "Lomi Noodle Soup" for me. So I said, "ok, I can wait." As she was cooking the noodle, she let me watch her so I won't get bored waiting. But from that day on, we never bought Lomi Noodle Soup from her restaurant anymore, because I learned how to cook them already. har har.

When we moved to Japan, the Filipino Association of Scholars in Tsukuba had a welcome party for me and my son Keith. But I wasn't able to come because I was so busy reading Dan brown's Angels and Demons. So, I cooked this Lomi Noodle Soup for my hubby's potlock. It was an instant hit, everyone was looking for me after that. They said my lomi is phenomenal. Haha! I didn't believe them though, maybe they just said that because they aren't in the Philippines and missing the local food here. Oops! enough of this long introduction, let's move on to this magical lomi noodle soup.

1/4 kilo lomi noodles (when I was in Japan I used rice noodle)
1/2 cup chicken (shredded)
