  • About

This soup is symbolism in a pot. To many Chinese the lobster is a symbol of the dragon, which is itself an Imperial symbol. So this is an emperor’s soup, a rich soup with both lobster and crab meat in it, a dragon soup, and it would not be complete without the dragon’s whiskers, which are of course the bean threads.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces chicken cutlets: remove membranes and fat, cut into ½-inch cubes, about 1½ cups net
  • 2 lobster tails, about 1

Method

  1. Marinate chicken and lobster in their individual marinades for 30 minutes; reserve.
  2. Heat a wok over high heat for 40 seconds. Add peanut oil. When a wisp of white smoke appears, add bean threads. These cook virtually immediately, so have a strainer at the ready and pick them out of the oil in 5 seconds. Drain and reserve.
  3. Pour chicken broth and water
