Notes

Cooking Tips:

Choosing the Right Cut of Pork

For the best flavor and texture, use a mix of pork cuts including belly, shoulder, and liver. The pork belly provides a rich, fatty flavor while the shoulder adds a tender, meaty texture. Adding liver enhances the dish with its unique, savory depth.

Perfecting the Soup Consistency

To achieve the ideal thickness, dissolve cassava starch in a small amount of cold water before adding it to the soup. Stir continuously to prevent lumps and ensure the starch is evenly distributed. For a clearer broth, use sweet potato starch instead of cornstarch.

Enhancing Flavor with Garnishes

Top your lomi with freshly crushed chicharon, kikiam, and spring onions for added crunch and flavor. For an extra kick, serve with a side of soy sauce mixed with kalamansi juice and red chili peppers. This combination of garnishes elevates the dish, making each bowlful more exciting and flavorful.
