  5. For soy honey glaze , add honey, agave and soy to a small pan and bring to a boil. Set aside.
  6. For wasabi mayo, add wasabi powder to mayo and mix.
  7. Toast french bread until crispy, spread wasabi mayo, and place lobster on bun, drizzle glaze over the lobster and top with baby greens and pickled ginger.
  8. Serve with poached Vidalia onion and enjoy with a cold Truck Stop Honey Brown or Naked Pig Pale Ale.
