Notes
Cooking Tips of Lomi Batangas Recipe:
Ensure the pork is cooked thoroughly for a delectable Lomi Batangas. Simmer the meat for approximately 20 minutes after bringing the broth to a boil, allowing it to become tender and infuse the dish with exceptional flavor and texture.
Adjust the starch slurry to achieve your desired soup consistency. Gradually incorporate the cassava or sweet potato starch mixture while stirring continuously. This technique allows you to strike the perfect balance between a thick, creamy soup or a lighter, more translucent broth.
Enliven your Lomi Batangas by garnishing it right before serving. Sprinkle crispy chicharon crumbs, sliced kikiam, and fresh spring onions to add delectable crunch and flavor contrast. This final touch keeps the toppings crisp and vibrant, making for an inviting visual and delightful textural experience with each bite.
