Equipment
pot
Ingredients
- 1 pound egg noodles
- 4 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 pound chicken liver
- 8 large shrimp
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 small yellow onion sliced
- 8 cups chicken broth or water
- 1 medium carrot sliced thinly
- 1 cup celery slice thinly
- 4 cups napa cabbage sliced thinly
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup fish sauce
Instructions
- Soak the egg noodles in cold water for a minimum of 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with running water to remove excess salt and starch.
- In a pot over medium heat, pour 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and cook the shrimp until it changes color to pink. Take them out and set aside.
- In the same pot, add 2 tablespoons of oil and saute garlic and onion until translucent.
- Add the liver and cook until the liver changes color. Take them out and set them aside on a plate.
- In the same pot, pour the chicken broth, fish sauce and black pepper. Bring it to a boil.
- Add the lomi egg noodles, celery, and carrots. Cook for a few minutes until the carrots and celery are tender-crisp.
- Add back the sauteed liver and let it cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the napa cabbage and cook for 1 minute.
- Pour in the cornstarch slurry and stir continuously until the soup has thickened.
- Pour the beaten eggs and stir in one direction. Stirring slowly in a large slow circular motion will yield large “ribbons” of egg and stirring faster will result in a finer “egg flower.”
- Add the cooked shrimp. Taste and adjust the seasoning accordingly. Serve in a bowl. Enjoy while hot!
Notes
Recipe Notes:
Storage: Allow the dish to cool. Store the leftovers in a container with a lid in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheating: Reheat the soup in a saucepan. Since the noodles absorb most of the liquid, you may want to add more broth when the soup is slightly dry. Reheat over medium heat, stir, and reheat until warm thoroughly.Nutrition
