Make a delicious boneless lobster for hotpot. No need to fumble or get your fingers dirty when enjoying this delicacy! .
How’s it going everybody this is beat the bush today i’m gonna show you how to cook a boneless lobster hotpot you’re not gonna get this anywhere because it’s just i never seen this before the thing is this is a live lobster so i’m gonna try to kill it in the most humane way as possible which is just a stab a knife right through the head in the middle if you ever try
To debone the lobsters actually really difficult because the meat just sticks to the shell so the trick here is to actually blanch it for a few minutes and the meat will come right off the shelf so grab a pretty thick knife because you got to cut through the shell and the brain is right here once we cut through the brain it’s not gonna feel anything so we’re gonna
Do this really quick so make sure you have a really big pot of boiling water and then you got a dead lobster here stick it in okay it’s about two minutes and that’s enough to blanch it so we’re gonna do the tail first cut along here and you just kind of twist it off cut along the inside not the outside because this is the shell and it’s really hard to clap so just
Cut along the inside like this pull it open the meat comes off really nicely like this and then the shell we can put it back in the hot pot to generate more flavor we want to cut along the back just kind of like a shrimp and devine it right here so we don’t want to eat that you can go rinse this slice this into about quarter inch each you’ll notice most of this
Is still raw and that’s a good thing because we don’t want it cooked here’s a full tail so far and i’m going to use a cleaver to take out the meat in the claws remove the rubber bands you want to crack it open like so here’s one of the boneless claws now this lobsters 3.1 pounds and the claw meat here along with the tail is thirteen point four ounces which works
Out to be about twenty-seven percent claw and tail meat so we also have all the shells which is one pound six and a half ounces this is about half of the weight and so another 25% is missing and those are all water that just happened to leak out so here’s all the lobster here i put all the shells back into the soup to give it more flavor i’ve added some fish sauce
To it some sesame oil just to give it some flavor i separated the head over here because the tamale you can eat if you put it in there let it boil it would just kind of all evaporate so i’m gonna separate it out and eat this later so you take a piece put it in like this little thing and swirl it around about 15 seconds or so will do it you just want it to be just
Cooked a lot of times when you go to a restaurant the lobster is a little overcooked it causes it to be a little bit rubbery so if you time it just right when you’re doing this hot pot it’s gonna be the best lobster you ever had and dip it in some of this barbecue sauce mmm the lobster is lobster taste sweet it’s kind of like shrimp i’m lenora in california over
Here and this lobster is about $13 a pound and it’s three pounds so it’s about $40 for this whole thing interestingly a long time ago people don’t use to eat a lot of lobster because they are thought of as you know ugly things and no one wants to eat them and the fisherman who fishes the lobster or fed lobster the workers actually went on strike because they were
Being fed too much lobster because back then lobster was thought of as a cheap thing to eat yes is $40 but actually got $30 off because i used the bank of america bet better balance rewards card which every quarter gets $30 off as long as you use it every single month so i use it every single month and and every single quarter i get $30 so i was like what am i
Gonna use it for this month well when i went to the store i bought this lobster $40 – $30 i actually paid $10 for this lobster those are the kind of crazy things i like to do with my credit cards and if you check out my other credit card videos you’ll know that you can get a lot of points a lot of rewards from using those cards including eating a lobster i’ve been
To chinese lobster hotpot before and usually they just cut it up into pieces you end up having to do a lot of eating around the bones but not this boneless hmm and of course whenever you have something so good you gotta have a beer with it this is actually fat tire in a ice cold glass mug mmm and here’s the elbow of the claw see it makes it taste a lot better when
You don’t have to deal with the claw stuff oh this is gay how much will it cost you to have boneless lobster hot pot at a restaurant if you have one lobster i don’t know i don’t know maybe $80 $500 just for one lobster pay $40 for this you can probably share this because i’ve you know almost had enough of lobster if you have other stuff to go with it and you know
