I haven’t tried any of the lobster recipes yet but, I’ve always preferred the Cantonese Lobster my dad used to cook when I was growing up in Chinatown. I’ve tried lobster from restaurants in Maine, Boston and Maryland but my favorite was and is the Cantonese Lobster. The black beans, eggs, ground meat and scallions stir-fried with chopped lobster chunks always delicious and a special treat. In all fairness, I will not judge the recipes till I’ve tried them but the pictures sure does look good.

I tried this recipe with a few substitutions (2 tablespoons maple syrup instead of sugar, added a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper and grated marble cheese) I LOVE IT!!! One of the most delicious Lobster dishes I’ve ever had and the first lobster stir fry ever tried, Thank you.

I tried this recipe over the weekend. Honestly, the finished product looked great (exactly like the pics), but the taste was not as good as the restaurants where I live (Orange County Ca, USA). There is a complex flavor layering found in the restaurant-prepared dish that is missing. The butter somewhat overpowers the sweetness and aroma from the onion and garlic. I am not a chef, so maybe it was my technique, but I try to follow the instruction, and overall I think I was able to do just that. The last piece of instruction to flavor with salt and sugar to taste was difficult, as the lobster was hot in the wok, cooking on high and covered, not exactly the easiest condition to do a taste test. Definitely need ALOT of scallions (makes a big difference). Recipe needs some fine-tuning to achieve restaurant-level success.

I tried this recipe with Slipper Lobsters last Saturday and my friends and I were amazed at the simple prep and great taste of this dish.

Amazing.

I cooked this last night and it is as good as I’ve had it in the restaurant in Hong Kong! Maybe better… Great dish!
