- In the year of the Dragon, lobster noodles are a must! This Lobster Yee Mein is the perfect combination of succulent Cantonese-style ginger scallion lobster and festive longevity noodles! Sure this dish is gorgeous, busting with lobster, and full of flavor-but if you're wondering why it's perfect for the year of the dragon, it's because "lobster" in Chinese literally is "dragon shrimp"!
Lobster Yee Mein (or yi mein) is pronounced lóng xiā yī miàn in Mandarin or loong ha yee meen in Cantonese (simplified: 龙虾伊面 / traditional: 龍蝦伊麵). Lóng is "dragon" and xiā is "shrimp"! For Chinese folks, Lunar New Year is the time for plays on words to set everyone up for prosperity, long life, and good fortune in the new year.
It's an incredibly tasty, luxurious dish, and we’ll show you how to make it like a pro!

The thing I LOVE about Asians and specially Asian women, is THEY LOVE food. They are not shy and going to order a salad or something stupid like that. Alot of my ex's have had eating / ordering difficulty thinking they have to "show they are healthy and dieting", but I think that is wrong. I have alot of Thai friends (I am Australian) and they will eat alot. Try anything. They are normal weight. I LOVE eating, I should have been a competitive eater in my early days, but I struggle to keep up with them. And the food is amazing. Eat lots and your metabolism with work with you. Eat hardy anything and your body will go into starvation mode and you will gain weight as your body puts the fats into "storage". You live once, maybe twice or who knows, but eat food and Obviously healthy foods, not just junkfood or fun food as they say. Take care everyone!
Agree with you 100%
Just eat & get up off your chair.
If I have a brother like you will be wonderful! Monthly have lobster noodle to eat!
That looks so delicious 🤤. I agree I’d be devouring those scallions, but everything looked fantastic. When I closed my eyes, I swore thatI could smell it.
I like when the shells are also coated with starch - it is fun and yummy to suck on the coating or use fingernails when eating
Your mother really enjoy the food
Looks soooo good! Thank you for sharing your amazing skills and recipes! 😄😋
Looks amazing!
Simply: WOW!
Beautiful
New subscriber here!
Perfect, thank you it looks amazing!!!
Festive and so delicious! ❤❤❤
Wow, this looks so fun to cook and insanely good! When you put all the final lobster on the plate and moved the noodles around to make it perdy, I was thinking to myself "I could not help but eating that right there that second".
I got your cookbook recently and have been loving it. I made the chow fun twice in one week (partially to practice), and just made your Ayi's rice cake dish last night. I sincerely appreciate and love the food you all make. Much love :)
Much love right back at you! Thank you so much 🥰 and believe me it was tough not to dig in then and there!!!
Bill, you’re so right about the Lobster Oil, it contains so much flavor. The perfect, banquet dish. Been following you guys for years. Kung Hei Fat Choi” everyone!
Thanks so much, Nelson! That lobster oil is killahh! Gong hay fat choi!!!
Oh man, I am allergic to seafood 🦞 and now you’re doing this dish. I guess at least your book has poultry and beef dishes. Thanks for the great book illustrations. I still like watching you cook. Amazing.
ohh nooo! you can always make our classic longevity noodle which doesn't have seafood!
Wow, thanks Sir, I am hungry already hahaha
This dish is a good choice to celebrate Lunar New Year!
Can I come for dinner?
That looks wonderful and it looks to me. According to my capabilities like I could handle doing. I have a client who is Chinese. Do you think that this is something that would be suitable to make for them for a meal Chinese new year's for a gift?
I'm thinking I would pre cook the and the lobster and finish it off at their house. I would not want to bring it Finished for them to reheat i'm quite sure
We think that would work! pre-fry the lobster perhaps and then finish the lobster stir fry + noodles at their house sounds like the right order of business.
@Thewoksoflife1 thank you,that's exactly what I was thinking...the lobster would be over cooked and noodles sticky
Stir frying the noodles is highly unusual, looks overcooked. Also, the entire dish is really dry which is again not the norm.
HOw is stir frying the noodles look overcooked. That is the best part. I mean depends on the noodles. But you boil or blanc them in water first and then cook them. Turns them into twice as yummy noodles with spices added etc.
Why take so long? You could gave easily shown this recipe in half the time if you didn't waste so much time
Cause it's his channel and not yours🙄
You could have easily changed the CHANNEL!!!!! DUH
I appreciate the step by step and commentary.
