INSTRUCTIONS
Parboil noodles as in "Parboiled Noodles #1/#2". Then refrigerate to chill (2 hours or more). Heat oil in a deep 8-inch skillet. Add noodles, and with a spatula, press them firmly against the sides and bottom of the pan until they hold a round nest-like shape. Then cook to heat through, but do not brown. Carefully transfer the nest to a heated serving platter and keep warm. Fill the nest with the "Lobster Topping for Noodle Nest" (see recipe) and serve at once. NOTE: Thin, medium or broad egg noodles can be used for this dish. If the noodles are not chilled first, shake them out to separate the strands. LOBSTER TOPPING: Flake lobster meat. Slice mushrooms thin; also bamboo shoots and onion. Blend comstarch, cold water and sesame oil to a paste. Heat oil. Add salt, then onion, and stir-fry until translucent. Add mushrooms and bamboo shoots; stir-fry 1 minute more. Add lobster, sherry and stock. Cook, covered, to heat through (about 1 minute). Then sprinkle with pepper. Stir in cornstarch paste to thicken; pour mixture into noodle nest and serve. VARIATIONS: Omit the sesame oil in step 2 and the pepper in step 4. Instead add to the cornstarch paste 2 teaspoons soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon sugar and the pepper. In step 3, add with the mushrooms and bamboo shoots, 1 cup bean sprouts, blanched.
