The classic New England lobster roll gets a striking new vibe with this Asian-inspired version: a soft, scallion-topped steamed bao (hua juan) filled with ginger, garlic, and sesame-scented lobster meat. Bursting with both flavor and color, these slider-sized sandwiches are sure to please any crowd. Blogger Joy Huang, who shares this recipe with us, says, “You can make and eat hua juan year-round, but as a New Englander, I can only recommend that lobster be eaten in the summer months when you can drive to a lobster pound and buy lobsters straight from the fishermen.”
