Pancit Lomi Gisado with Beef, Shrimp and Vegetables

Pancit Lomi is a Filipino noodle dish that originated in Batangas, Philippines. It is a hearty and flavorful dish, often served during cold weather or as a comfort food. The dish is known for its thick, round noodles and rich, savory sauce. The “gisado” variation involves stir-frying the noodles with various vegetables and proteins, which adds a depth of flavor and texture.

The addition of shitake mushrooms, carrots, cabbage, snow peas, celery and Chinese cabbage adds both nutrition and a burst of color. The dish is flavored with a combination of soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, and sesame oil, with dashi powder enhancing the umami flavor.
