Chicken Lomi Recipe

Chicken Lomi is a type of Filipino chicken noodle soup. Compared to traditional chicken soup, the broth for this particular soup version is thicker. Raw egg is added to the broth making it almost similar in texture to egg drop soup. What makes the soup even thicker is the mixture of water and cornstarch, which is added towards the end of the cooking process.

Unlike popular versions of Lomi, which are mostly composed of meat and noodles, this recipe utilizes vegetables such as carrot and cabbage along with fresh slices of lean chicken breast. It implies that that this chicken lomi version is healthier because it contains servings of vegetables, has high protein content from the chicken breasts, and low in fat.

What do I like most about this recipe? Aside from the nutrition aspect, there are two things that I can quickly think of: It is fast and easy to prepare; and it is delicious. Using thinly sliced boneless chicken breast saved me time in cooking the chicken; boiling and shredding were not required. Instead, the fresh chicken was cooked directly by sauteing along with garlic, onion, and carrot. It also has a balanced flavor and a nice thick texture which makes it delicious and pleasant to eat.
