Ingredients
- 2 lobster claws
- 1 bundle somen
- 2 tablespoons Tsuyu or Soup Base such as Mizkan Bonito-Flavored Soup Base, or to taste
- 1 1/2 cups water
- butter
- oyster mushrooms
- green onion cut into small rings
Instructions
- Clean and boil the lobster claws in hot boiling water for about 5 minutes, or until cooked. In a separate pot, boil the somen according to the package instructions, usually for 4-5 minutes.
- Rinse the lobsters with cold water, crack the shells, and remove the meat. Drain the noodles and place them in an ice water bath.
- Add the tsuyu or soup base to 1 1/2 cups of water and stir to mix well.
- Brush the lobster meat with butter and grill for a couple of minutes to enhance the flavor and aroma. Poached lobster can taste bland, and grilling with butter will bring out deeper flavors.
- Brush the mushrooms with butter and grill for several minutes, then remove. Drain the cold noodles and place them in two serving bowls.
- Pour the soup base into the bowls and add the lobster meat and grilled mushrooms on top. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
