Servings: people

2 lobster claws
1 bundle somen
2 tablespoons Tsuyu or Soup Base such as Mizkan Bonito-Flavored Soup Base, or to taste
1 1/2 cups water
butter
oyster mushrooms
green onion cut into small rings

Clean and boil the lobster claws in hot boiling water for about 5 minutes, or until cooked. In a separate pot, boil the somen according to the package instructions, usually for 4-5 minutes.
Rinse the lobsters with cold water, crack the shells, and remove the meat. Drain the noodles and place them in an ice water bath.
Add the tsuyu or soup base to 1 1/2 cups of water and stir to mix well.
Brush the lobster meat with butter and grill for a couple of minutes to enhance the flavor and aroma. Poached lobster can taste bland, and grilling with butter will bring out deeper flavors.
Brush the mushrooms with butter and grill for several minutes, then remove. Drain the cold noodles and place them in two serving bowls.
Pour the soup base into the bowls and add the lobster meat and grilled mushrooms on top. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
