Lomi Recipe

Lomi or Pancit Lomi is a Chinese-Filipino noodle dish made with a thick variety of fresh egg noodles of about  about 1/4 inch in diameter , sautéed with small pieces of pork or chicken meat, liver and select vegetables, added with tasty broth and then thickened  beaten eggs. The most popular among these variations would probably be the Batangas Lomi. There are as many styles of cooking lomi as there are eateries, panciterias or restaurants offering the dish. They served several toppings are added prior to serving such as chicharon (crispy pork skin) and hard boiled egg.

Ham and Cheese Rolls

We have left over ham, cheese and bell pepper. So I decided to make an easy snack one fine Saturday afternoon. :)

You will need;

8 slices white bread (brown edges removed)

4 slices sweet ham (cut into half)

Cheese sliced into 8 strips

Green Bell Pepper (Julienned)

2 pcs. eggs (beaten)

Japanese breadcrumbs

Then;

Flatten the bread slices with a rolling pin, use a clean glass bottle of softdrinks if you dont have a rolling pin. Place the flatten bread on a plate and lay the ham first then the cheese then put a strip of green bell pepper.

Wrap it up. Dip the ham and cheese roll into the eggs then roll it over the Japanese breadcrumbs. (If you dont have japanese breadcrumbs, you can replace it with crushed skyflakes )

Deep fry it until it becomes golden brown. Place in a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Enjoy and Serve. Yummy...for me it taste like pizza :)

Pancakes anyone?

I know...there are lots of premix pancakes available at the supermarket but just for fun, I made my own home made pancake last weekend.

You will need;
1 egg
1 cup milk
2 tbsp. melted butter
1 cup flour
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt

Then you have to;
Beat the egg and add remaining ingredients until stir until smooth. Butter preheated non stick pan. Be sure it’s fully hot before putting batter down.
Pour batter onto hot pan. Flip the  pancakes as as they are puffed and full of bubbles but before bubbles break to cook the other side.

Serve with butter and maple syrup or chocolate syrup.

Yehey...I did my first ever home made pancakes. :)

Hmmmm....was thinking of making home made ice cream soon...hahaha!
