LOMI Batangas Style (For Mom)

Being in Dubai, everyday i crave for FILIPINO FOOD. So after one random food-craving-conversations with my co-staff nurse, i remembered how Lomi Batangas Style tasted. BTW, this recipe post is for mom :)

Ingredients:

1 lb Egg noodles (the thicker and the fresher the better. hahaha)
