SHRIMP WITH BLACK BEANS IN LOBSTER SAUCE



Shrimp With Black Beans in Lobster Sauce image

This is my #1 favorite Chinese dish and it has taken me a few years to duplicate the restaurant recipes and then enhanced to my liking. This origins of this recipe comes from the Lobster Cantonese style dish (with Lobster Sauce and a Chinese-American creation) which was popular in Cantonese restaurants in North America around 1950 or so years ago. Then another variation was created using shrimp and this dish was called Shrimp in Lobster Sauce (which uses the same sauce as the Lobster Cantonese dish but no lobster meat is used). These basic recipes contained a white type of sauce and with some green peas and ground pork added. After this still another variation was created and this time using salted fermented black beans in a dark soy sauce and either Lobster or Shrimp was used. Further, for this recipe (and the other above dishes) getting the eggs to "set" on top of the sauce was a challenge since most home ranges can not generate a very high heat (when using a wok) for cooking. However, I was successful in getting the eggs to "Set" properly by using heated sesame oil. That is, getting the eggs to "set" by partially cooking them (slightly runny eggs) and not incorporated them completely into the sauce.

Time 1h

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb large shrimp, fresh
4 teaspoons coarse salt
2 tablespoons preserved black beans, fermented (found in Asian markets, food stores)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons ginger, grated
2 tablespoons rice wine
1/4 lb ground pork (1/4 to 1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3/4 cup chicken stock (Optional, Won Ton or Asian Chicken Powder)
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce (no sweetened version, read label on bottle)
3 -4 tablespoons tapioca starch, powder with 3-6 tablespoons water (substitute cornstarch)
2 eggs, slightly beaten with 2 tablespoons water
2 scallions (spring, green onion)
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons sesame oil

Steps:

  • PREPARATION.
  • The shrimp- Remove the shells from the shrimp and devein by cutting a slit along the back of the shrimp (removing the vein), butterfly, place the shrimp in a bowl, add 2 teaspoons of salt, mix and then rinse under cold water, add another 2 teaspoons of salt, mix and then set aside for 15 or more minutes.
  • The salted black beans- Rinse the beans briefly, place in a small bowl, add minced garlic, graded ginger, 1-2 tablespoons rice wine (2 cover) and then set aside to soak for 15 minutes.
  • The ground pork- In a bowl add the ground pork, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, mix and then set aside.
  • The stock- In a bowl add the stock, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, stir and then set aside.
  • The thickening agent- In a small bowl add the tapioca powder (or cornstarch) with water, stir and then set aside.
  • The eggs- In a small bowl add the eggs, with the water, mix lightly and then set aside.
  • The scallions- Wash and clean the scallions and cut at an angle into 1/2 inch pieces, set aside.
  • The sesame oil- In a small frying pan heat 2 tablespoons sesame oil, keep warm and then set aside in the frying pan (to be heated later and used after the eggs are added), as an option see the notes below.
  • COOKING INSTRUCTIONS.
  • In a Teflon pan (or wok) add 1 tablespoons peanut oil and when medium hot add the shrimp, stir-fry until the shrimp turns pink, do not overcook, remove and set aside.
  • Next mash the salted black beans mixture a little, then add 1 tablespoons of oil to a clean Teflon pan (or wok) and when medium hot add the salted black bean mixture, then stir-fry until it starts to release its aroma.
  • Next add the pork mixture and stir-fry until it loses its pink coloring.
  • Next add the stock and stir-fry until boiling.
  • Next re-stir the tapioca powder (or cornstarch), add to the pan and stir-fry to thicken the sauce.
  • Next add the pre-cooked shrimp and cook for about a minute.
  • While the shrimp is re-heating, heat the sesame oil until almost smoking and then set aside (in preparation to add on top of the eggs in order to set).
  • Next add the egg mixture on top of the sauce.
  • Then pour the heated sesame oil on top of the egg mixture to set/cook briefly (eggs should remain somewhat runny and do not stir the eggs into the sauce).
  • Then add the scallions.
  • Finally ladle the shrimp and sauce into a dish and try to retain some of the "set" egg on top for appearance. Serve and enjoy.
  • NOTES:.
  • Instead of using heated sesame oil, do not heat the oil (step # 9, 17) but add to the sauce in step #19 and stir once. Then add the eggs on top and use a cover to let steam "set" cook the eggs. However, this will increase the cooking time and you might overcook the shrimp.
  • Serve with white rice on the side.

KOWLOON'S LOBSTER SAUCE (FROM KOWLOON'S OF NEW ENGLAND MA)



Kowloon's Lobster Sauce (From Kowloon's of New England Ma) image

I love lobster sauce and this was published in the Boston Herald as an answer to a request. by the way, it has no lobster in it in case you never had it before! I'm revising the quantities because I think they made a mistake on the amount of water. I used more black bean sauce and garlic, subbed the molasses with sugar because I didn't have any molasses and left out the egg. I like my way better!

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon cornstarch
3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup Chinese rice wine or dry Sherry
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 (1 1/2-lb) live lobsters
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Chinese fermented black beans, rinsed and finely chopped
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
2 teaspoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
4 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 lb ground fatty pork
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
Special Equipment
kitchen shears; a well-seasoned 14-inch flat-bottomed wok with a lid

Steps:

  • Bring 6 quarts water with 3 tablespoons salt to a boil in an 8- to 10-quart pot over high heat.
  • Meanwhile, stir together cornstarch, broth, rice wine, soy sauce, sugar, and pepper in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved.
  • Plunge lobsters headfirst into boiling water, then cover tightly and cook for 2 minutes from time lobsters enter water. Transfer lobsters with tongs to a large bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking (lobsters will not be fully cooked), then drain lobsters in a colander. When cool enough to handle, twist off tail and claws (including joints) of 1 lobster. Cut body in half lengthwise through shell with shears, then remove and discard sand sacs from inside head. Cut body in half again crosswise. Halve tail lengthwise through shell with a cleaver or large heavy knife, then cut each half crosswise into 4 pieces. Working with same lobster, 1 claw at a time, wrap claws with joints in a kitchen towel and twist off claws from joints. Unwrap claws, then crack joints with a mallet or back of a large heavy knife. Chop claws in half lengthwise between pincers with a cleaver or large heavy knife. Transfer lobster pieces to a bowl, keeping meat in shells. Repeat with second lobster, putting pieces of second lobster in another bowl.
  • Heat wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates instantly. Pour 1 tablespoon vegetable oil down side of wok, then tilt wok to swirl oil, coating side. When oil begins to smoke, add pieces of 1 lobster and stir-fry just until meat starts to turn opaque, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer cooked lobster with a slotted spoon to a large bowl. Repeat with second lobster, transferring cooked pieces to same bowl.
  • Add remaining tablespoon vegetable oil to wok, swirling to coat, then add beans, garlic, ginger, scallions, and pork and stir-fry until pork is no longer pink, about 1 minute.
  • Stir cornstarch mixture, then add to pork in wok and bring to a boil. Add lobster and stir to coat, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, 2 minutes. Remove lid and pour eggs over lobster mixture in a thin circular stream. Cover wok and simmer just until eggs begin to set, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle with sesame oil, then gently toss. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To save time, you can use frozen lobster tails. Just thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or in cold water for about 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you're using fresh lobster tails, be sure to cook them within a day or two of purchasing them.
  • To make the black bean sauce, you can use canned or dried black beans. If using dried beans, be sure to soak them in water overnight before cooking.
  • You can adjust the spiciness of the sauce by adding more or less chili peppers.
  • Serve the lobster with steamed rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

This lobster with black bean sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The lobster is cooked to perfection and the black bean sauce is flavorful and savory. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
