• A different easy fast meal

    From Carol@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 30 01:35:51 2025
    This was tailored to Don's needs which is easy to digest and not too
    spicy. Feel free to add other sauces if you like but the simple
    butter, sesame oil, and garlic powder did the trick.

    5 sticks of imitation lobster*
    1 TBSP butter
    1/2 TBSP sesame oil
    1/2 cup orange bell pepper
    1/2 cup red bell pepper
    1/2 cup sliced cremeni mushrooms
    1/4 tsp fine garlic powder
    Rice for plating

    Slice bell peppers to slivers then toss them and the mushrooms in the
    sesame oil. Add butter to pan and sprinkle garlic in it as it melts.
    Add all but 'lobster and stir fry about 3 minutes. Pust stir fry to
    side and add 'lobster' sticks (cut in 1/2 or 1/3rds if desired) to heat
    (add a little more butter if needed), turning at least once.

    Plate rice then add stir fry medley and top with 'lobster'.

    * recipe uses 2.5 sticks per person but 2 would be fine. The packs I
    get are often on sale for 1.99 and have 8 sticks so, 4 servings. We
    just like more!

    If curious, this meal assembles for 2 adults and can easily be expanded
    (I used 5 of the 8 sticks of fake lobster). Rule of thumb is 1 cup
    rice, 1 cup stir fry, and 2.5 sticks of fake lobster per person. This
    can be totally heart healthy if you use 'I can't believe it's not
    butter' instead of real butter. Oddly, not that much taste difference
    with this recipe!

    Cost if wondering: 1.74 per serving or near it. You could also do it
    with seared scallops or peeled deveined shrimp. Costs a little more
    that way but not that much.

    I don't think I have seen imitation lobster where I shop. I will look
    harder. A couple of ounces of industrially processed lox costs eight
    bucks which covers the four important sides of two bagels, mostly.
    Gravlax is way cheaper if one makes it themselves. But...there's work
    involved.

    I can't recall seeing imitation lobster. I've seen imitation crab (aka
    krab) which is basically white fish, usually pollock, ground into a
    paste with some other stuff then pressed and formed to look like it came
    out of crab legs. It's not something I actually look for.

    I've seen and eaten imitation lobster. I've never seen it
    in stick form, because that's not what shelled lobster meat
    looks like.

    Just like krab, imitation lobster is really sweet.

    Yes, that's why I mentioned krab (and she keeps calling it "sticks" in
    the recipe). But hey, for all I know they make imitation lobster in
    stick form, too.

    I had a lobster roll from McDonald's. Beats me if it's real or
    imitation. I paid 11 bucks for it and it was pretty good. I don't want
    to know if it's real or not. What difference would that make?

    They are pretty good and a good value. I can get better, but at least

    To me, too. Fake lobster is much more uniform looking.

    Well, I'll be damned. I guess it does come in stick form:

    https://wooltariusa.com/en/products/dongwon-imitation-lobster-meat_140g-x-2

    The supermarket fake lobster is always chunks. I guess you have
    to shop someplace really special to find fake lobster that doesn't
    look a bit like lobster.

    * recipe uses 2.5 sticks per person but 2 would be fine. The packs I
    get are often on sale for 1.99 and have 8 sticks so, 4 servings. We
    just like more!

    If curious, this meal assembles for 2 adults and can easily be expanded
    (I used 5 of the 8 sticks of fake lobster). Rule of thumb is 1 cup
    rice, 1 cup stir fry, and 2.5 sticks of fake lobster per person. This
    can be totally heart healthy if you use 'I can't believe it's not
    butter' instead of real butter. Oddly, not that much taste difference
    with this recipe!

    Cost if wondering: 1.74 per serving or near it. You could also do it
    with seared scallops or peeled deveined shrimp. Costs a little more
    that way but not that much.

    My daughter has been making a baked rice dish with salmon and imitation >>crab and mayo. It's not bad and tastes mostly like salmon, not crab. I
    can eat only small amounts of it because of the rice.

    Are you sure that's not a sushi bake and fern salad that you ate at
    your step-mom's place?

    Indeed, that's what it is.

    I don't think I have seen imitation lobster where I shop. I will look
    harder. A couple of ounces of industrially processed lox costs eight
    bucks which covers the four important sides of two bagels, mostly.
    Gravlax is way cheaper if one makes it themselves. But...there's work involved.

    It's ok, it's not common where I shop. Imitation Crab works just as
    well and frankly, tastes almost the same and is more often on the
    refrigerated shelves. You can get it in large flakes or sticks. It's
    reformed 'white fish'. I believe the name is surinami or suriname.

    I can't recall seeing imitation lobster.  I've seen imitation crab
    (aka krab) which is basically white fish, usually pollock, ground
    into a paste with some other stuff then pressed and formed to look
    like it came out of crab legs.  It's not something I actually look
    for.


    The photo looks more like imitation crab than lobster.

    There are both. The lobster one seems to be seasonal and perhaps not
    in your market.

    The imitation part means it's reformed. Suriname or surinami. This
    set eas in stick shape. If you want to think it was Krab, be my guest.
    It was a simple meal that worked for Don.

    Yes, that's why I mentioned krab (and she keeps calling it "sticks"
    in the recipe). But hey, for all I know they make imitation lobster
    in stick form, too.

    Jill

    They do. It's not 'logical' since it's not a lobster shape. The only difference in the 'sticks' is the label on the packages and the
    ingredients have some lobster in them.

    Suriname is a former Dutch colony in northern South America.

    Is that because imitation lobster only spawns seasonally?

    Like most creatures on this planet, the life cycle of the imitation
    lobster is poorly understood. Much more research is needed. Meanwhile,
    in the middle of the Pacific, something wonderful has been discovered.
    Well, it could be horrible, depending on how you see things.

    I was very disappointed with the meal service. By the time the crew
    reached the back rows, there were no meal options left except vegetarian pasta...

    After the first meal service, I couldn't find any cabin crew for
    assistance. I needed a bottle of water but couldn't get any help until
    the second service...

    The second meal was also underwhelming, a sandwich that did not meet the standard I would expect...
