Method

Preparation of Lobster

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lobster

    In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the lobster tails for 5-7 minutes until they turn bright red. Remove from heat, let cool, and chop into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Make the Tempura Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and ice water. Whisk until smooth.

  3. 3

    Fry the Lobster

    Heat oil in a deep pan. Dip the lobster pieces in the tempura batter and fry until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
