Hi guys!
I’m so excited today, because I’m about to share the BEST Lobster Noodles recipe EEEEVVVVVEEEERRRRR! Seriously, can’t have enough of this amazing lobster noodles I created at home, you MUST try!!
As you can see, my giant lobster has only one claw… there is a story behind… Long story short, Jacob went to get a live lobster for the video in the morning and the fish guy drops (Jacob thinks) the lobster and hurried to scale and wrapped. By the time lobster shows in the house, it has only one claw.
By the way, don’t name your lobster.
First thing is first, let’s make the most delicious flavored butter for Bob, I mean the lobster and the noodles!
Combine unsalted butter, tons of garlic, green onions, lemongrass, hint of ginger, Thai chili (only if you want spicy!🌶), fish sauce, palm sugar (you can use honey instead!) and black pepper.
Bring it to boil over medium heat. Let it keep simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and set aside.
Steam (you can boil as well if you prefer) the lobster over boiling water for 9 minutes for 2 pounds.
Add 1 more minute per half pound. This way the lobster won’t be fully cooked, but only 3/4 way through cooked.
So my lobster was 4 1/2 lb so I steamed it for 14 minutes.
Remove lobster from the steamer and place in a ice water to stop cooking.
Cut lobster in halves and place on a baking sheet.
BTW, when you cut the lobster and see a bunch of black/dark green stuff, don’t freak out!! (like I did)
It’s lobster eggs. They will turn into orange-ish red when they are cooked! Super delicious!!
Brush total of 4 tablespoons flavored butter on lobster halves.
High broil (500°F) the lobster on the medium rack for 2 to 3 minutes or until the lobster is fully cooked.
Keep it warm.
Meanwhile, let’s make the egg noodles to serve together with the lobster.
This is my favorite egg noodles, it’s part cooked, so ready to sit fry from the package!
You can find this egg noodles from Asian/Chinese grocery stores at the refrigerator section.
Heat a wok over high heat. Add remanning flavored butter. Add the noodles and oyster sauce. Stir fry until the noodles are fully cooked and soft, about 2 to 4 minutes. If the noodles need to cook more, add a splash of water to help them steam and finish cooking.
Add green onions and toss. Stir fry for 1 minutes and remove from heat.
Place fried noodles on a large serving plate and pour the juices from the lobster on the bottom of the baking sheet. Then finally top the noodles with gorgeous lobsters. (on the picture, I pour the lobster juice after I place the lobster, but it’s not a huge deal.)
Squeeze fresh lime or lemon juice right on top then garnish with chopped cilantro and fried shallot!
Enjoy~!!
Oh, don’t forget to take a picture and post on Instagram!!!
