- With scissors, cut lengthwise along the top of each lobster shell to the end of the tail, leaving the fan end intact. Spread the shell open and carefully pry out the meat, leaving it attached at the fan end; lay the meat over the top of the shell.
- Crush the ginger, green onions, and cilantro sprigs with the flat side of a cleaver to bruise them slightly. Place them in a wok and add in a steaming rack. Pour in water to just below the level of the rack; bring it to a boil.
- Place the lobster, meat-side up, in a heatproof dish and set the dish on the rack. Cover and steam till the lobster meat turns opaque, about 6 min. Transfer the lobster to a hot serving platter.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan till warm. Stir in the slivered green onion, ginger, garlic, chiles, sesame oil, and salt. Remove from the heat and stir in the soy sauce (the oil will sizzle). Immediately drizzle the oil over the lobster. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.
- This recipe yields 2 servings.
- Tip: This dish can also make an attractive appetizer for four.
- Comments: An unusual method of cutting the lobster shell results in an especially attractive presentation. Quickly steamed over fragrant seasonings, the luscious meat curls tenderly over the shell. Then it's drizzled with a sizzling, spicy sauce - absolutely beautiful and delicious!
