Ingredients Method

Ingredients

1 lobster
1 cup seasoned corn flour
2 portions egg noodles (preferably Yi Mian)
1 thumb of fresh ginger
5 spring onions, sliced into thirds

The Sauce

3 tablespoons oyster sauce
110ml light beer
Dash Dark soy sauce
Sesame oil
Cornflour paste (thickening agent made up of 2 tbsp cornflour & 2 tbsp water)

Method

Preparation

The Sauce

1. Finely slice the fresh ginger and place in a small prep bowl

2. Cut all the spring onions into thirds and place in the same pre bowl

3. Mix the oyster sauce, beer & dash of dark soy sauce together

4. Prepare a small bowl of cornflour paste (1:1 equal parts cornflour and water)

The Noodles

5. Soak the noodles in hot water for 5 minutes. Drain and leave to dry 10 minutes on a clean tea towel in a tray.

The Lobster

6. Deep fry the lobster at 180°C for 3 minutes and drain off any excess oil before placing on the side

7. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok to high heat

10. Now add in the fried lobster portions and stir-fry for a further 2-3 minutes, folding the sauce well into the lobster

11. Lastly, thicken the sauce with the corn flour paste. Once the sauce is has a dripping consistency and wraps around the lobster shell, it is ready to serve.
