Lobster Sauce | Traditional Sauce From United States of America | TasteAtlas

Lobster Sauce

Lobster sauce is a sauce used in American-Chinese and Canadian-Chinese cuisine. It is characterized by a mild flavor and a base of meat stock instead of soy sauce. The sauce has many variations, but it usually contains garlic, ginger, chicken stock, eggs, starch, green onions, and fermented beans, while some recipes add soy sauce and pork mince to the combination.


Despite the name, the sauce doesn't contain any lobster as it's a derivation of the dish known as shrimp with lobster sauce, which was invented in North America by Chinese cooks who were inspired by the Cantonese method of preparing lobster, but due to the fact that lobster was too expensive, they opted for shrimps instead.
