Stir fried (Lomi) Noodles

Since the pandemic started, I haven’t been to the supermarket. My hubby does all the food shopping. There are some ( or a lot ) items he’s not familiar with so I show him how they look like while at home and hope he picks up the right item. There are still hits and misses but they’re getting few and far between and I’m so proud of him for doing this! 

This recipe came about because he didn’t realize he picked up a different kind of noodle. I only use this type in making Special Lomi and I haven’t thought of other ways to use it until now. Thanks to him, this dish came about.

Our stir fried Lomi noodles is a simple dish that’s packed with flavor. Try it out! My kids love this so much that I cooked it a couple of times that week.

Stir fried (Lomi) Noodles

Pam from PinoyBites

A very filling and delicious noodle dish that is similar to Pancit Canton using Chinese flavours that are common in Filipino kitchens.
