Loming Batangas, Lomi Batangas Style


Loming Batangas, Lomi Batangas Style

Loming Batangas, Lomi Batangas Style. I have been planning to cook loming Batangas for a while now. It was very difficult because I am overseas and I do not have the right ingredients. However I finally have a go using ingredients which I used in my previous lomi recipes. Click the link below to see the recipes of my previous lomi post in the archives.

Loming Batangas


For the noodles I used fresh Hokien noodles in plastic pack, these are readily available in most supermarkets here. Instead of boiled quail egg I used regular chicken egg. I did not have also the fish balls or meat balls but it will do without them, if you happen to have them just fry them then add them on the last minute of cooking or add them as garnish. I did not have also the kikiam instead I used Chinese sausage plus a few dash of Chinese five spice as an alternate ingredients. The great thing is the dish turned out great. I was too excited I forgot to take a photograph of the dish served with the garnish and dipping sauce. Here is the recipe of my version of Loming Batangas, Lomi Batangas Style.


Lomi Batangas Style


Ingredients:

1 kilo fresh thick egg noodle or miki noodles (I used Hokien noodles)
1/2 kilo liver, sliced into 1/2” thick
1/2 kilo pork, cut into thin slices or strips
2-3 Chinese sausage, sliced crosswise diagonally (use kikiam if available)
1/2 head garlic
1 medium size onion chopped
1/2 cup cornstarch
6 hardboiled eggs, shelled
6 eggs, beaten
1-2 tbsp. sugar
chicharon baboy, pork crackling

Paksiw na Pata Batangas Style



Paksiw na Pata Batangas Style. Cooking pata paksiw style using vinegar only, yes no soy sauce and with some broth. Paksiw na Pata in vinegar only is not limited to Batangas, I have tasted Paksiw na Pata or Pork without the usual soy sauce on other parts of the country. The pork is simply stewed vinegar and garlic, some time with onion and or peppercorns. This version of pork paksiw is normaly or originaly cooked by our grannies and at rural areas, where at times soy sauce may not be available.


Paksiw na Pata


Paksiw na pata in vinegar only is very simple to make and with minimum ingredients. Pork knuckles and feet are preferably used which is boiled with garlic and onions till tender and seasoned with vinegar and salt. I contrast with Paksiw na Pata with soy sauce with sticky sweet and sourly sauce Paksiw na Pata in vinegar only is cooked with some salty sourly broth which is best mixed with steaming white rice.

Here is the recipe of my Paksiw na Pata Batangas Style, try it.


Ingredients:

1/3 - 1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 head garlic, peeled, crushed
2-3 medium size onion, peeled, quartered
