　　Crispy Green Lobster Balls is a new and premium banquet dish from Hainan. It is made with the region’s signature large lobster and served with broccoli.

　　Main ingredients for Crispy Green Lobster Balls: one large lobster (approximately 1.75 kg), 250 grams of broccoli, superior stock, fine salt, monosodium glutamate, egg white, cornstarch mixed with water, ginger flower, scallion sections, carrot, and an appropriate amount of peanut oil.

　　Preparation method for Crispy Green Lobster Balls: First, remove the lobster meat and cut it into ball-shaped pieces (keep the head, tail, and shell intact for later use), then marinate the meat with egg white and cornstarch slurry. Next, blanch the broccoli in superior stock until cooked, then arrange it in the center of a long serving plate with arcs of broccoli on both sides. Deep-fry the lobster head and tail until cooked, then place them at both ends of the plate. Finally, heat a wok over high heat, add oil until it reaches about 70% heat, and deep-fry the lobster balls until just cooked. Remove with a strainer and drain off excess oil. Reheat the same wok, add ginger flower, scallion sections, carrot flowers, lobster balls, fine salt, and monosodium glutamate, and stir-fry quickly. Thicken with a cornstarch slurry, add a little oil to finish, then plate the dish by placing the lobster balls in the center surrounded by the broccoli.
