Chinese Lobster Salad

Hell ya! This salad is definitely worth the investment! We stopped by Billingsgate Seafood Market on Saturday to pick up some quality seafood and that's exactly what we got. Along with about a half pound of lobster meat, we purchased two servings of halibut. The difference between what I typically buy at a grocery store and this seafood was noticeable. I would recommend the trip.


This lobster salad was found in the June, 2011 edition of Canadian House & Home magazine. The recipe calls for chow mein noodles (the crunchy-cracker style version). I picked up the wrong type, so the noodles might not appear as you would expect in this picture. 


Serves 6

• 2 T brown sugar
• 2 t soy sauce
• 1 T sesame oil
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 3 T rice vinegar
• 1 small head of napa cabbage, shredded
• 3 green onions sliced
• 1/2 lb lobster meat chopped into bite-size pieces
• 1 cup of chow mein noodles
• 1 T toasted sesame seeds
• 1/4 cup of toasted slivered almonds
• 1, 284ml can of sliced mandarins

Combine the first five ingredients in a jar, shake well and set aside. Combine all other ingredients in a large bowl and the jarred dressing. Toss well and serve immediately.
