Ingredients

12 ounces linguine or other thin noodles
2 ~ 1 ½ pound lobsters or about 12 to 16 ounces of cooked lobster meat
4 tablespoons salted butter
8 ounces of button mushrooms, thickly sliced
8 garlic cloves, minced
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced and divided
5 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the linguine according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
12 ounces linguine or other thin noodles
Either use cooked lobster meat or steam them yourself. To steam lobsters, to a large stock pot, add about 3 inches of water and bring it to a vigorous boil. Add the whole lobsters to the pot. Cover the pot. Bring the water back to a boil.
Steam the lobsters for 11 to 12 minutes. Using tongs, remove the lobsters from the pot to a large bowl. Cool slightly. Remove meat from the shells. Cut in large pieces. Set aside.
2 ~ 1 ½ pound lobsters or about 12 to 16 ounces of cooked lobster meat
In a large sauté pan or wok over medium heat add the salted butter. When the butter has melted, add the mushrooms. Sauté until light brown on the edges, about 3 to 4 minutes.
4 tablespoons salted butter, 8 ounces of button mushrooms, thickly sliced
Add the garlic and half of the green onions. Sauté for 1 to 2 minutes or until they're fragrant.
8 garlic cloves, minced, 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced and divided
Turn the heat to low and add the oyster sauce, brown sugar, reduced sodium soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
5 tablespoons oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce, 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Add the cooked noodles and remaining sliced green onions. Toss to coat with the sauce.
Add the cooked lobster meat and gently toss with the noodles.
Serve warm or chilled.

Notes

Delete the heat - Omit the red pepper flakes so the dish isn't spicy.

Change the vegetables - add sliced carrots, diced zucchini peas or broccoli florets instead of the mushrooms.

Make it vegetarian - skip the lobster to make the dish a vegetarian favorite.

Add your favorite protein - These stir fry noodles are a tasty base for any protein. Cook any meat you use before adding it. Try shrimp, scallops, salmon, swordfish, chicken, pork tenderloin, steak and cubed tofu.
