Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Lobster tails
- 4 cups Cold cooked jasmine rice
- 1 Medium-sized carrot
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Lime
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Peel and dice the carrot into small cubes. Slice the green onions, keeping the white and green parts separate. Mince the garlic cloves and the ginger.
Boil a pot of water over medium-high heat and add the lobster tails. Cook them for about 6 minutes or until bright red. Remove from water, let cool slightly, then crack and remove the lobster meat from the shell. Chop the lobster meat into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble them gently. Once cooked, remove the eggs and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sauté briefly until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Then, add the white parts of the green onions and diced carrots. Stir fry for about 2 minutes or until the carrots begin to soften.
Increase the heat to high and add the cold cooked jasmine rice, breaking up any clumps. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the rice is well-coated in oil and slightly crispy.
Add the frozen peas, scrambled eggs, and chopped lobster meat to the skillet. Pour in the fish sauce and sesame oil, then season with salt and black pepper.
Continue to stir fry everything together, making sure all ingredients are heated through, for another 3-4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the fried rice, add the green parts of the green onions, and toss everything to combine evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the soy-free lobster fried rice hot, garnishing with additional lime wedges if desired.
