Chàm Island lobster

Method:

Lobster:

• Use a brush to gently scrub the lobster to clean all mud and moss from the shell. Sprinkle the diluted salt water evenly over the shrimp body, then rinse the lobster with clean water 1-2 times.
• Gently boil it with lemongrass, ginger, coriander root, rice wine and 1 litre of water for 7 minutes. Immediately cool down with ice. Peel it and keep it in the chiller.

Salted egg sauce:

• Take the salted eggs, wash them with wine. Brush a layer of oil around the eggs, bake at 150 degrees for 9 minutes, then put all the ingredients into a blender to make a smooth sauce.

To serve:

• Add sauce to the bowl. Heat the lobster at 60 degrees and place it on the top, decorate with Trà Quế herbs, salmon roe and microgreens on top.
