5. Add shredded chicken and fish cake. Stir and cook for few minutes.
6. Add remaining chicken broth and fish sauce to the pot. Season with salt and ground pepper to taste. Simmer in low heat for 10 minutes. (If you want your Lomi more soupy, you can add more hot water to the broth)
7. Add Miki noodles to the pot and continue cooking for about 5 minutes.
8. Add cabbage and continue cooking for a minute. Add cornstarch diluted in water to the pot and stir to dissolve. Continue to cook for a minute or two.
