Live Lobster Baked In Black Bean Sauce

Sure, I'd be happy to help you with that!

The dish you're referring to is commonly known as "lobster with black bean sauce" or "lobster in black bean sauce" in restaurants in the United States. However, the specific dish you mentioned, "live lobster baked in black bean sauce," is less common but still possible to find in some upscale Chinese restaurants.

Here's a general description of the dish:

A live lobster is typically killed and then split in half lengthwise. The lobster meat is then removed from the shell, leaving the shell halves intact. The lobster meat is marinated in a sauce made from fermented black beans, garlic, ginger, and other seasonings. The lobster shell halves are then stuffed with the marinated lobster meat and sometimes other ingredients like bamboo shoots or water chestnuts. The stuffed lobster is then baked or steamed until cooked through. The dish is typically served with the lobster shells on a plate, surrounded by the savory black bean sauce.

If you come across this dish in a restaurant, keep in mind that it may be a more expensive item due to the use of a whole live lobster. Also, if you prefer not to see the lobster killed in front of you, you may want to ask the restaurant if they can prepare it in the kitchen instead.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
