Ingredients
-
1 kg cooked rock lobster meat, chopped into pieces
1/4 cup vegetable oil
8 garlic cloves, finely chopped
8 fresh red chilies, seeded and finely chopped, to taste
1 teaspoon rice vinegar or 1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 egg
1/2 cup fresh coriander, chopped
4 green onions, cut into 4 cm lenghts
Sauce
1 cup water

1 1/2 teaspoons cornflour, for thickening
1/4 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1 1/2 - 3 tablespoons sugar, to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preparation
-
To make sauce mix all ingredients together and set aside.
Heat oil in wok, add garlic and stir-fry for 1 minute, then tip in chilli and stir-fry for another minute.
Stir sauce ingredients into wok for 2 minutes.
Add rice vinegar or lemon juice, stirring.
Add lobster pieces (just enough to heat through- do not cook).
Crack egg in and mix to form shreds.
Add coriander and green onions, stir well and serve immediately with bread to mop up the sauce.
Note:
Raw lobsters can be used, just add lobster after step two and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Add sauce then cover and simmer over high heat for 5-7 minutes or until lobster shells turn bright red. Carry on with the rest of the steps.
