Method
- Blanch lobster for 3 minutes in boiling water and cool immediately. Shell the tails, without removing the caudal fins.
- Slightly warm the red curry paste and thin with a little water.
- Halve the lobster tails lengthwise and carefully place on skewers. Coat with red curry paste. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Cook apples with some butter and a little water, covered; then blend until you obtain a smooth light mousseline.
- Blanch the bok choy in boiling water and cool immediately. Set aside.
- Reduce the balsamic vinegar to a syrupy consistency.
For the yellow curry sauce
- Heat some butter in a sauté pan and add the lemon grass with the yellow curry paste; add the white Port and reduce by three quarters. Add the chicken broth, crème fraïche and kaffir lime leaves and finally the butter.
Finishing
- Cook the cabbage and carrots with the lemon grass stalks in a little butter. Check the seasoning.
- Coat the lobsters, first in flour, then egg yolk and finally bread crumbs. Deep fry in oil at 160° C (325° F)
- Drain on paper towel, sprinkle with salt and lemon.
- Arrange some of the apple mousseline on a plate; on one side put the balsamic caramel sauce and on the other side the yellow curry sauce.
- Arrange the vegetables in the centre and place two skewers of lobster on top. Decorate with cilantro.
