Source:
| 2 small (1 pound) | fresh live lobsters or large shrimp |
| 1/3 cup | peanut oil, divided |
| 1 clove | garlic, crushed |
| 1 slice | fresh ginger root, minced |
| 6 ounces | lean ground pork |
| 1 cup | chicken broth |
| 1 tablespoon | cooking sherry |
| 1 tablespoon | soy sauce |
| 1 tablespoon | cornstarch |
| 1 teaspoon | brown sugar |
| 2 | eggs, beaten |
| 3 | green onions, chopped |
Directions
If using lobster - chop the tail into small pieces, and crack the claws in half as well.
Heat half of the peanut oil in a deep heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic, and fry for about 1 minute. Throw in the lobster pieces, and fry until they are cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the lobster and garlic mixture to a dish and keep warm.
Heat the remaining oil in the skillet. Add the minced ginger and pork, and fry until the pork is no longer pink. Pour in the chicken broth, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. In a small bowl, mix together the sherry, soy sauce, cornstarch and brown sugar until well blended. Add the sherry mixture to the pan, and stir-fry for a minute or two, until the sauce becomes thick and somewhat clear.
Stir in the green onions, and turn the heat off. Drizzle the beaten eggs over the mixture in the pan, and stir until the eggs are in little pieces. Finally, return the lobster to the pan, and cook over low heat for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Transfer to a serving dish, and let stand, covered, for a few minutes before serving. Eat with steamed rice and enjoy, cause you worked hard!
