Patola can be used in a variety of dishes, this is now the second in a row that I have featured a dish using patola as the main vegetable ingredient, click the link if you have missed the previous post of Pinatolang Baka. Of course this is not the first time that I have used patola on my recipes. 

Seafood Lomi with Patola

To make my Lomi with Patola, I just limited my sahog ingredients to a minimum. I have omitted a lot of the meat ingredients instead I have used meatballs made out from left over lumpiang Shanghai meat mix. In addition I also added some squid balls and medium sized shrimp.

For flavouring I used some slices of Chinese sausageHoisin sauce and shrimp stock. Use water instead if you do not have shrimp stock, or maybe some shrimp cubes. Here is the recipe of my Lomi with Patola.

Ingredients:

1/2 kilo fresh lomi noodles
2-3 medium size patola, skinned, cut crosswise to about 1 1/2” thick
1/4 kilo medium size shrimp, shelled, pre-boiled
2 pieces Chinese sausage, sliced thinly
12 pieces pork meat balls
12 pieces squid or fish balls

3-4 stalks kinchay, chopped
1-2 tbsp Hoisin sauce
1/2 cup cornstarch
4- 6 medium size egg, beaten
