Having been a frequent traveler to Kota Kinabalu for work, I often take the opportunity to bring back some frozen seafood from the land beneath the wind. My usual loot are usually different types of garupa, but sometimes I do get something different, and that’s how I ended up with some lobster tail meat.

Lobster tail is somewhat between crab and prawn, both in terms of texture and taste, something that I really enjoy. And since we have a 1 year old in the house, I thought I should use it to cook something everyone could enjoy – Lobster Tail & Tofu with “Tauju”.

Ingredients:

  • lobster tail (250 gram, you can also substitute this with prawns)
  • some garlic
  • tofu – one block, cut into squares
  • 2 tbsp tauju (aka fermented tofu)
  • chopped spring onion
  • cooking oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch, mix with 1/2 cup water

start off with frying garlic and lobster tail

Cooking instructions:

  • heat up cooking oil and start frying garlic until fragrant
  • add lobster tail and stir fry for a minute or two
  • add tofu and fermented tofu
  • stir fry for another minute, then add cornstarch
  • add chopped spring onion just before serving

add tofu, fermented tofu, and cornstarch later

The result is a pretty simple to cook dish that tastes rather awesome, and for RM 25’s worth of lobster tail, absolutely worth it!

    I recommend using kaiju sauce instead if you want the little one to grow big into a kaiju
