In the realm of gourmet seafood, the Persian lobster reigns supreme, its succulent meat a canvas for the rich tapestry of flavors it’s paired with. The Garlic Majesty, a dish of Persian lobster with a garlic sauce, is a testament to the elegance of simplicity in culinary arts. Here’s how to create this regal feast.
Ingredients: A Symphony of the Sea:
- Garlic Sauce: Generous amount
- Persian Lobster: One
- Steamed Fish Soy Sauce: As needed
- Seafood Soy Sauce: As needed
- Granulated Sugar: A pinch
- Glass Noodles: A handful
The Method: Crafting the Crown Jewel:
- Begin with a pristine Persian lobster, the star of our dish.
- Cleanse the lobster thoroughly, for purity is paramount.
- Start at the back, where the incision will be made.
- Split the lobster down the middle, revealing the treasure within.
- The head, too, must be halved, with surgical precision.
- Soak the lobster in water for about half an hour, changing the water occasionally to ensure a clean taste.
- As the lobster bathes, soak the glass noodles until they are tender and pliable.
- Unveil the sauce—a potion of garlic sauce, seafood soy sauce, steamed fish soy sauce, and a whisper of sugar, mixed to perfection.
- Once the lobster has been properly soaked, disassemble it as shown, with respect and care.
- Arrange the head artfully, as if it were a sculpture.
- Lay the soaked glass noodles in a dish, creating a bed for the lobster, which should be placed belly-down.
- Align everything neatly, centering the lobster’s roe, if present, like a jewel.
- Prepare the lobster claws as shown, showcasing their natural beauty.
- Admire the lobster’s flesh, now ready to be adorned.
- Drizzle the sauce over the lobster, and garnish with a modest amount of ginger, scallions, and garlic.
- Steam the lobster for approximately 10 minutes, or until it dons the color of cooked perfection.
- Once the color signals readiness, it’s time to remove it from the steamer.
- Present the Garlic Majesty at the table, a dish fit for royalty.
- As you savor the first bite, let the flavors affirm that your efforts have birthed a dish of exceptional delight.
