Method

Hayato Menu

  1. 1

    Prepare ingredients

    Arrange all ingredients within reach. If lobster meat is not pre-cut, chop into bite-sized pieces. Mince garlic and slice scallions thinly for garnish.

  2. 2

    Sauté aromatics

    In a wide skillet, heat a small amount of neutral oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Sear lobster

    Add lobster meat to the pan and gently sear for 1-2 minutes to coat with oil and deepen flavor. Do not overcook.

  4. 4

    Prepare umami sauce

    Whisk together dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, sake, and white miso paste in a small bowl until miso fully dissolves.

  5. 5

    Combine and simmer

    Pour the sauce over the lobster in the skillet. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the sauce to reduce slightly.

  6. 6

    Finish the sauce

    Stir in unsalted butter until glossy and emulsified. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.

  7. 7

    Brighten and finish

    Add lemon juice and remove from heat to prevent overcooking the lobster.

  8. 8

    Plate and garnish

    Divide lobster and sauce among serving plates. Garnish with sliced scallions and, if desired, a light zest of lemon.
