Homemade Lobster Ramen = a combination of fresh local market lobster and spicy instant Korean noodles!
This ultimate fusion dish is really easy to make actually - you just boil the lobster for about 10 minutes. While it is cooking, you "prepare" the ramen by adding all the packet ingredients in a separate pot of boiling water just before the lobster is done. Drain the lobster, and put the beautiful crustacean on top of the boiling ramen.
...and voila! Beautiful and delicious lobster ramen!
Check out your local seafood market to get a fresh lobster for a great price! This one was only 12euros ($16usd/16 000won/125hkd!) right from the market place! I made this when I was visiting France for the summer and was craving some Korean spicy ramen! I was on the Northwest coast in St. Malo, so there was plenty of fresh seafood in markets everywhere!

Fun fact...did you know?
Instant noodles are known to be a cheap dish for students or an instant meal when there is no time or nothing to eat. Actually, back in the day, lobster also used to be considered a mark of poverty and food for servants or food served in prisons in Maine, Massachusetts and the Canadian Maritimes! American lobster used to be used only as fertilizer or fish bait! It was not until the mid-19th century that people starting developing a taste for it and it started to become popular! So technically, this is a true quick and cheap eats dish!
