Method

Preparation of Lobster

  1. 1

    Cook the Lobster

    Boil the lobster in salted water for about 8-10 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from water, let cool, and chop into bite-sized pieces.

Tempura Batter

  1. 2

    Make the Tempura Batter

    In a bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk the egg and ice water together, then combine with the dry ingredients until just mixed.

Frying the Lobster

  1. 3

    Fry the Lobster

    Heat oil in a deep pan. Dip lobster pieces into the tempura batter and fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Cilantro Remoulade

  1. 4

    Prepare the Remoulade

    In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Garlic Truffle Fries

  1. 5

    Bake the Fries

    Toss cut potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden and crisp. Drizzle with truffle oil before serving.

Chef's Vegetables

  1. 6

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, add mixed vegetables, salt, and pepper. Sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Assembling Tacos

  1. 7

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm blue corn tortillas. Fill each tortilla with fried lobster, cucumber, jicama, and drizzle with cilantro remoulade. Serve with garlic truffle fries and sautéed vegetables.
