Pancit Lomi

Lomi or Pancit Lomi  is a Filipino - Chinese dish made with a variety of thick fresh egg noodles of about a quarter of inch in diameter, soaked in lye water to give it more texture.  Because of its popularity in the eastern part of Batangas, there as many styles of cooking lomi as there are eateries, panciteria or restaurants offering the dish.  Variations and quality are therefore very common.

1 c. of diced cooked chicken meat
1 carrot, julienned
1 c. of diced leeks (white and light green parts only)
7 c. of chicken broth (unsalted)

1 tbsp. of cooking oil
1 tbsp. of finely minced garlic
1 onion, halved and sliced thinly
1/2 tsp. of sesame seed oil
salt and pepper to taste
