Lobster With Noodles Recipes

CANTONESE STYLE LOBSTER

Steps:

• Rinse the lobster, and hold it belly up. At the bottom of the tail, there is a small opening, stick a long skewer in it to drain any urine left in its' body, then crack the tail off, chop the tail into small pieces, and crack the claws in half as well. If you know how to eat the body of the lobster, cut it up and throw it on the pile too.
• Heat half of the peanut oil in a deep heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic, and fry for about 1 minute. Throw in the lobster pieces, and fry until they are cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the lobster and garlic mixture to a dish and keep warm.
• Heat the remaining oil in the skillet. Add the minced ginger and pork, and fry until the pork is no longer pink. Pour in the chicken broth, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. In a small bowl, mix together the sherry, soy sauce, cornstarch and brown sugar until well blended. Add the sherry mixture to the pan, and stir-fry for a minute or two, until the sauce becomes thick and somewhat clear.
• Stir in the green onions, and turn the heat off. Drizzle the beaten eggs over the mixture in the pan, and stir until the eggs are in little pieces. Finally, return the lobster to the pan, and cook over low heat for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Transfer to a serving dish, and let stand, covered, for a few minutes before serving. Eat with steamed rice and enjoy, cause you worked hard!

LOBSTER PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the lobster and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until bright red.
• As soon as the lobster starts cooking, melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and 3 cloves of garlic. Cook and stir just to release the liquid. Do not let them brown.
• When the lobster comes out of the pot, place it on a cutting board and use a big knife to cut it in half lengthwise. Place the halves meaty side down into the skillet with the onion and garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes.
• Bring another pot of water to a boil and season with a little salt. Add the spaghetti and cook for 8 minutes, or until tender. If you want to save time and a pot, you could boil the pasta in the lobster water since it is already boiling, just add salt.
• Add the tomatoes to the skillet and turn the heat up to high to bring to a boil. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper and cinnamon. Cook, stirring constantly for 5 to 7 minutes. Slowly pour in the cream, stirring constantly. The sauce will become a nice pink color. Turn the heat down to medium-low. Keep warm, stirring occasionally until the pasta is done.
• Drain the spaghetti and place on a large serving plate. Stir in the remaining butter and garlic. Pour the tomato sauce over the spaghetti and arrange the two lobster halves in the center. Sprinkle all over with parsley and serve.

LOBSTER WITH NOODLES

Steps:

• Steam the lobsters 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then remove the meat from the shells and dice it.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add noodles and cook three minutes, stirring to keep them separated. Drain, rinse under cold water and drain them again. Place them in a colander lined with a paper towel to reduce moisture.
• Heat the peanut oil in a wok or a large skillet. Add the onions and saute until tender. Stir in the mushrooms and saute until they wilt. Add the garlic and all but one tablespoon of the scallions and saute briefly.
• Add the lobster meat, then add the noodles to the pan and mix well. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce and vinegar and toss to combine all the ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle with coriander, toss again, then transfer to a warm serving bowl. Sprinkle with the remaining scallions and serve.

LOBSTER FRIED IN RICE NOODLES

• Blanch the lobsters in boiling water for 30-60 seconds, them transfer immediately to ice water bath.
• Once cool, crack lobster and extract the mostly raw meat.
• Chop tails into 1-2 inch chunks (approximately 4 pcs per tail), combine in a bowl with knuckle portions.
• Reserve claw and body meat for another use.
• Season egg with salt and pepper and a pinch of cayenne.
• Grab a healthy pinch of vermicelli, dip into egg wash, and wrap noodles around lobster chunks.

• Drain on paper towels and serve with dipping sauce.
