Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Purchased 2 pounds of fresh lobster.

   

2. 2 Handling lobster is time-consuming, but you will feel more confident eating it after it is clean. The specific steps to handle lobster are: (1) pinch the two large claws of the lobster first; (2) use a brush to clean the entire lobster; (3) use scissors to subtract the lobster (4) Pull out the shrimp line from the lobster tail; (5) Use scissors to cut the middle of the lobster tail lengthwise to facilitate the flavor; (6) Cut off the front third of the lobster head, be careful to leave the shrimp yellow, and do not cut off too much of the lobster head.

   

3. 3 Nowadays, supermarkets have ready-made braised prawns buns for sale. The mildly spicy buns I chose here, if you like spicy food, you can choose your favorite buns.

   

4. 4 Heat the pot and pour in an appropriate amount of salad oil. Because the lobster needs to be oiled, the amount of salad oil here is more than usual.

   

5. 5 Add the drained lobster to the oil pan.

   

6. 6 Stir-fry the lobster quickly until fragrant. When the lobster turns red, take it out and set aside.

   

7. 7 Add the chopped green onions, garlic cloves and ginger slices to the remaining salad oil in the pot and continue to stir-fry.

   

8. 8 Add the braised prawn buns.

   

9. 9 Continue to stir-fry until all the seasonings are fragrant.

   

10. 10 Pour in the previously oiled lobster.

    

11. 11 Continue to stir-fry for five or six minutes.

    

12. 12 Pour in an appropriate amount of beer, I used two cans of beer here.

    

13. 13 Add appropriate amount of dark soy sauce for color.

    

14. 14 Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the lobster to fully absorb the soup.

    

15. 15 Leave some soup liquid and sprinkle some salt before serving.

    

16. 16 The steaming braised prawns are served, and sprinkled with a handful of coriander. If there are white sesame seeds, you can also sprinkle some white sesame seeds to enhance the aroma.

    

17. 17 After eating the lobster, the remaining soup can be used to make rice, or you can use the remaining soup to cook some shredded beans or potatoes, both are delicious! Are you drooling? Let’s do it quickly!
