Lobster
3 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp. fresh ginger, minced
1 1/2 lbs. raw Lobster meat, shell on, cut into chunks
2 tbsp. fermented salted black beans, rinsed, drained, and
chopped
1/4 lb. boneless pork (shoulder or butt), trimmed of excess
fat, and finely chopped
1 green onion, thinly sliced
1 egg, lightly beaten
Sauce
1 tbsp. corn starch
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. dry sherry
1/2 cup chicken broth
Dash of white pepper
½ cup
chopped cilantro for garnish
½ cup chopped green onions for garnish
Combine the
ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl and whisk together
until the sauce is smooth and combined. Set the sauce aside
while you prepare the lobster.
Place a wok
over medium-high heat. When the wok is hot, add the vegetable
oil.
When the oil
begins to glisten and just start to smoke, add the ginger,
garlic and lobster meat. Stir-fry the lobster until the
meat is opaque and the shells turn red, about 5 minutes.
Add the black
beans and the pork meat and continue to stir-fry until the
pork is cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the
reserved sauce, and stir-fry until the sauce boils and thickens,
about 1 minute. Stir in the beaten egg and the green onion.
Cook just until the egg begins to set about, 30 seconds.
Spoon the lobster
Cantonese onto a large serving platter and garnish with
some cilantro and chopped green onions and serve hot.
