Pancit Lomi
Pancit Lomi is a familiar dish from my childhood. My father and grandfather used to take my brother and I to Chinatown just to eat it. This Chinese noodle dish has become so popular in the Philippines that it is not uncommon to find it in expensive restaurants as well as in plastic bags sold by streetfood vendors. Pancit lomi is among the items in the room service menu of at least three 5-star hotels in Metro Manila.
Pancit lomi is cooked with fresh egg noodles. Bought by weight in wet markets and supermarkets, fresh egg noodles are oily and salty. There are several varieties of egg noodles. Some are thin (for mami); some are flat (for stir-fried noodle dishes). Lomi noodles are thick–about 1/4 inch in diameter. Of course, there is nothing wrong with using thinner noodles or even the flat kind. They all taste the same anyway.
Quality varies too. The best ones are made by Chinese restaurants. They are not as salty or as oily as the ones sold in the market. They are also more expensive. I bought my noodles from the wet market. And to make sure that my pancit lomi won’t taste as though I had poured a cup of salt in it, before cooking I placed the fresh egg noodles in a bowl and poured enough boiling water to cover it. I let the noodles sit in the hot water for five minutes, then drained and rinsed them under the tap.

Hi there! u have a wonderful site, ma’am… congratulations! btw, in my friend’s recipe of lomi, she uses cream of corn in packets to make the soup really creamy.
mam connie.
matagal na po kaming subscriber ng pinoycook at naisip ko pong maghanap ng recipe ng pancit lomi.
meron po akong nakitang recipe na katulad ng sa inyo dito, http://www.recipesdatabase.com/recipedetail.aspx?id=1172
maraming salamat po sa patuloy nyong pagsshare ng mga recipe sa amin.
Hayyy… another plagiarist. I bet a fellow Filipino did the copying.
ms connie are there any substitute to lomi noodles? im not in the country right now and my sources are limited. i really wanna cook your recipe. thanks so much.
Udon is the best next to lomi noodles but still the lomi noodles in the Philippines taste much better.
hello, huwag naman pong masyadong negative ang mga Pilipino sa kapwa pilipino…recipe na nga lang na ishashare namumuna pa kayo…basta be proud and try the recipe….if hindi nagwork maaring mali measurement ninyo o di nyo nasunod mga steps….happy cooking and happy eating…godbless sa mga pinoy sa buong mundo
hi Connie,I have been following your website since one year. I tried pancit lomi last night and even my husband who is not actually eating this complete meal ate and liked it. the only thing is, that the lomi i knew is thick and i dont know what i forgot to add since mine is very watery.
The beaten eggs + the starch in the noodles make the broth thick. If yours was thin, it was either the noodles weren’t cooked long enough, or there was too much broth, or the noodles weren’t starchy enough.
hi mam connie im from kuwait nag k idea ako ng uwi ko s pinas n make some good bussines iven n s house k lang i love too t2 cook but lomi ang maganda good bussness khit s bhay k lang pno b mpalapot i2 mark kuwait
Mark, no offense but can you rewrite your comment without using text lingo? Mahirap intindihin eh baka mali yung maisagot ko.
ask ko lang poh no poh mga korean influence sa filipino cuisine na noodles or other foods?
tnx tnx poh
You can’t trick me into doing your research paper for you, Frances. Do your own research.
