I've been craving to eat lobster for weeks. It's really hard to get one in supermarkets where I come from. They only sell it in bangsawan shops. And I found out the reason why. It turns out that a seekor lobster costs RM163 at Cold Storage. Luckily for me, there was a whoops price. So I got to buy it for RM85. Still mahal though...
Anyway, the only way I can cook a dish is to have it googled first. It somehow turned out well in the end though I overcooked it resulting it to be too chewy. The beer had no substitute. So I used plain water instead.
So basically, these were the ingredients I used. No specific amount. Everything just 'agak-agak'...
Pot - use a tall or wide one. Preferebly glass.
Butter - melt it in the pot
Onions and chopped garlic - sizzle everthing in
Any additional herbs or paste - I used this thai green paste
Water - google said to use beer which of course is a no-no for me. Anyone know of any supposed substitute?
Salt and sugar - according to taste
Boil everything and insert lobster.
Boil and boil. The lobster will change from blackish blue to red. After this, is up to you. If you overcook it, the meat will shrink inside the shell and become a bit tough to chew. Oh..and make sure you have he required tools to eat it. Incredibly messy this lobster stuff. I wrapped a hammer in plastic and used very tough scissors to cut through the shell. The broth is incredibly nice. Used it later as udon broth. =)
