Garlic Paste Lobster: A Culinary Masterpiece

Garlic paste lobster, a beloved delicacy, tantalizes taste buds with its aromatic, spicy, and umami-rich flavors. Here’s a step-by-step guide to crafting this dish at home.

Ingredients:

2 live lobsters (500g each), 200g garlic, 50g ginger, 20 dried chilies, 2 tbsp cooking wine, 3 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp sugar, salt, and vegetable oil.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Lobsters: Clean lobsters, remove the intestinal tract, and chop into large pieces. Blanch in boiling water for 1 minute, then drain.

2. Make the Garlic Paste: Mince garlic and ginger finely. Heat oil in a wok, stir-fry garlic paste over low heat until golden and fragrant (avoid burning). Add dried chilies and ginger, stirring for 30 seconds.

3. Cook the Lobster: Increase heat, add lobster pieces, and stir-fry until shells turn red. Pour in cooking wine, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until evenly coated.

4. Simmer and Serve: Add a splash of water, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning, garnish with cilantro, and serve hot with rice or noodles.

Tips: For extra flavor, mash some garlic paste with a little broth to create a smoother sauce. Enjoy the tender lobster infused with bold, garlicky goodness!
