  • About

My students ask, “Where is the lobster?” and I explain that in Cantonese cuisine “lobster sauce” means the sauce that you prepare for lobster, not a sauce made with lobster. It would be clearer, but not as rhythmic, I suppose, to call this “shrimp with the sauce that is used for lobster.” It doesn’t scan.

Ingredients
