Ingredients
Scale
2 cups cooked day-old rice
2 Eggs (yolks and whites separated)
2 Lobster tails (uncooked)
1 inch Fresh Ginger (julienned)
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tbsp avocado oil
2 tbsp salted butter
2 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prep the lobster tails: Using kitchen shears, cut the shell and remove the lobster meat. Chop the tender lobster meat into 2-inch bite-sized pieces or small pieces and set aside.
- Prepare the rice: Take the cooked day-old rice and break up any clumps. It's important to use day-old rice to achieve the right texture. Add the egg yolks and combine well with the rice.
- Heat the wok or a large skillet: Place a wok or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tbsp of neutral oil.
- Egg whites: whisk the 2 egg whites and cook. Remove from the wok, cut into strips, and set aside.
- Sauté ginger and garlic: Add the julienned ginger to the wok. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the minced garlic and saute, being careful not to let the garlic brown.
- Cook the lobster meat: Toss in the chopped lobster meat and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until it turns opaque and slightly golden brown. Remove the lobster and set aside.
- Incorporate the rice: ADD MORE OIL IF NEEDED. Add the day-old rice to the wok, breaking up any remaining clumps. Add the salted butter. Add back the lobster and mix.
- Season to perfection: Season the fried rice with salt and white pepper. Continue to stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
