Methods

  1. Halve the lobster lengthways with a sharp knife. Bring a large saucepan of water, fitted with a bamboo steamer, to the boil over high heat.
  2. Remove green tops from onion and thinly slice diagonally. Place in a bowl of cold water, set aside. Finely chop remaining green onion, combine in a bowl with soy sauce, cooking wine, ginger and 1 tbsp water, and whisk to combine.
  3. Place lobsters cut-side up on a plate that fits inside the steamer, spoon over three-quarters of sauce and steam covered until just cooked through (12-15 minutes). Scatter with onion tops and serve with rice and remaining ginger sauce to the side.
