How to cook yummy Lobster Noodles? If you can't do it, welcome to our restaurant to taste it :)
Ingredient
• 1 lobster (about 1.5 lb)
• 1 brick of Yi Mein/Longevity noodles/or Sau mein
• 1 tablespoon corn starch
• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
• 6 slices ginger
• 2 stalk scallions/green onion, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 1 can of chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon cooking wine
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Direction
1. Cut off tail and claws. Crack claws using the back of the large knife (to help seasonings enter the meat). Cut tail into bite-sized chunks. Thoroughly clean all pieces using a small brush and water. Sometimes, you see dark green/black intestines that run through the length lobster. Make sure you discard that and rinse thoroughly. Finally, use paper towels to dry the lobster pieces and dust them with corn starch.
2. Cook the noodles in a pot of boiling water for 1 minute, drain and set aside.
3. Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Add ginger and part of the scallions, stir fry until fragrant. Add lobster pieces (except head) to wok and stir-fry for about 2 minutes, until the shell starts to turn orange. The lobster should only be lightly cooked at this point. Remove lobsters from skillet.
4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add noodles and chicken broth. Bring to to boil, add lobster head. When it boils again, cover and simmer for 2 minutes.
5. Turn the heat to high, add lobster pieces to cook together with broth and noodles. Cover, cook for 3 minutes or until everything is cooked through. Add remaining scallions, white pepper and cooking wine and drizzle sesame oil. Mix everything well and cook for another short while (10-20 seconds) and it’s ready!

"This has lots of different flavors going on, and is a very special soup to serve our guests. The spicy hot comes from the white pepper, and the sour comes from the vinegar."

Fun Fact: Chinese do not like using knives and forks while eating because they believe these are weapons. That is why most of their dishes use boneless meat and chopped vegetables.

Meanings behind dishes

1. Long Life Fertility Noodles and Happy Shrimp
2. Chinese Lettuce Cups (lettuce = rising fortune)
3. Hainanese Chicken Rice (serve your chicken whole & cut at table for Chinese New Year. Cooking a whole chicken or duck represents health — carving it before serving would meant to “cut” your health)
4. Chinese Tea Eggs (for prosperity)
5. Chinese Whole Steamed Fish
6. Stir Fried Beef with Nectarines (nectarine = happiness, health)
