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.

Pancit Lomi

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!

Lomi noodles

Lomi noodles are a variety of thick egg noodles which are usually soaked in lye water during the making process to achieve its characteristic chewy texture. The noodles are the primary ingredient, along with a variety of meat cuts, vegetables, and cornstarch-thickened soup stock, in the popular Batangas Lomi.

    Hi,

    Can we substitute the knorr crab and corn soup with anything else as it's not available where I am from?

      Yes, you can substitute shrimp broth and just thicken the soup with cornstarch slurry.

    Hi, what do you do when the noodle absorbs the soup? Is there a way for the noodle to refrain from absorbing the soup? Or Just remove the noodle and add it when it’s time to eat?

      Hello Rez,

      Unfortunately, the noodles will absorb the liquid. Yes, you can just remove them when heated and then add back it when you're ready to serve. You can also try coating the noodles with a little bit of cooking oil before adding to the pot which will act as a barrier and keep them from absorbing too much liquid.

        Hi, Lalaine. I live in Pittsburgh and I don't think the Asian stores here carry lomi. What would be a good sub for it? Salamat!

          Hi, Cynthia,

          You can use almost any fresh egg noodles. Another great noodle to use is Japanese udon. It has a great taste and texture that's perfect in soups 🙂

    Thank you for posting a pork-free version of lomi. I cannot make and eat the original lomi because I'm a muslim currently working here in Saudi Arabia. I do get homesick and miss a lot of our sidewalk and carinderia food back home.

      You're welcome, Reverie. I live in the U.S. and I know what you mean about missing carinderia style food. Thanks for visiting the site and I am glad you're finding some of the recipes useful. 🙂

    Hi! New reader here. I always buy Knorr crab and corn soup mix! The hubby likes it as soup; I just add an egg to it. Oo nga naman, pwede pala sya sa lomi! 🙂

    Dear Laline, In your recipe for Pancit Lomi, you call for a packet of crab and corn soup. Where might find this ingredient and under and what brand name would you recommend? Thank you for your help regarding this matter. I do so enjoy using your recipes. Thank you for sharing, Cordially, Sara Villaman

      Hello Sara

      The brand I use is Knorr and I usually buy it from the Asian supermarket here. You can also order it from Amazon if you like.
