Chilli Lobster - cooking recipe

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
    5 tablespoons ketchup
    1 teaspoon black beans
    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.
