Recipe: Lomi

I used an iOS program to check if I have anything in my kitchen that will expire in a few days.  I found out that apparently, the Star margarine that I have will be expiring in a week.  Because of that, I tried to find recipes online on how I can use it.  I do not want to waste any food ingredient.  It’s just not right 🙂

I stumbled upon Magnolia’s website, which sells Star Margarine.  Among all the Star Margarine recipes, the lomi caught my eye.  There are a lot of ingredients in this dish, but it’s not hard to cook.  So I challenged myself to cook lomi.

One thing I like to warn you guys is the use of salt & pepper.  It’s best to really taste your lomi before adding the spices.  The mistake that I made is that I just took the initiative to just pour some salt without knowing that my dish is already salty enough 😛  So I had to make some adjustments to make my lomi perfect.
