Live Lobster Baked In Ginger & Green Onions

The dish you're referring to is called "Steamed or Baked Lobster with Ginger and Scallions." It is a popular menu item in many Chinese-American restaurants across the United States.

To prepare this dish, live lobsters are typically steamed or baked with a mixture of ginger, scallions (also known as green onions), garlic, and soy sauce. The ginger and scallions add a fresh, aromatic flavor to the lobster, while the soy sauce provides a savory depth.

Here is a simplified recipe for you to try at home:

Instructions:

1. Rinse the lobsters and split them in half lengthwise. Use a sharp knife or kitchen shears to cut through the shell and the meat.

2. Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the vegetable oil, ginger, scallions, and garlic. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Add the lobsters to the wok, cut side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the lobsters start to turn red.

4. Flip the lobsters over and add the soy sauce, water or chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Cover the wok and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the lobsters are cooked through.

5. Serve the lobsters hot with the ginger, scallions, and sauce.

Note: If you prefer to bake the lobsters, you can place them in a baking dish with the ginger, scallions, and sauce. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the lobsters are cooked through.
