• 1 Tbsp chopped garlic 2 shallots chopped
• 1 Green Bell Pepper Chopped

• 2 Bunches Green Onion (halved)
• 3 cups mushrooms (roughly chopped)

 Seafood:

• 2 lbs jumbo shrimp

Noodles: 10 helping Ramen noodles

Preparation

1. Sauté Veggies: Heat 1/2 cup canola oil and 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sauté ginger, garlic, shallots, bell peppers, chile peppers, and mushrooms until softened and fragrant.
2.  Create the Broth: Add 2 cartons of stock, Chilau Stew Base, fish sauce, and lemon juice to the pot. Stir well and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes to infuse flavors.
3.  Cook the Lobster: Add lobster tails to the simmering broth and cook for 5 minutes. Remove lobster and place in an ice bath or set aside to stop cooking.
4. Strain the Broth: Strain the broth to remove all veggies and ensure a clear, flavorful liquid. Return strained broth to the pot and keep warm over low heat.
5.  Cook Noodles: In a separate pot, cook ramen noodles according to package instructions (without seasoning packets). Drain and set aside.
6.  Assemble the Ramen Bowls: Divide cooked noodles into bowls. Add lobster, shrimp (cooked directly in the hot broth for 2–3 minutes), and ladle hot broth over the top.
7.  Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions, fresh lime wedges, and optional soft-boiled eggs. Serve immediately and enjoy the bold fusion of Southern and Asian flavors. T
