1 lobster (about 2.5 – 3 lbs)
4 oz. Yee Mein or E-Fu Noodles
1 1/2 cup water + 1 tablespoon corn starch (use more corn starch if you like thicker sauce)
2 stalks scallions (cut into 2-inch length)
10-12 slices peeled ginger
3 tablespoons cooking oil
Extra cooking oil for frying
Sauce:
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon white pepper powder
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
Salt to taste
Method:
- Clean the lobster and chop into pieces. Lightly crack the lobster claws in advance. Blot the lobster dry with paper towels.
- Heat up a pot of boiling water and boil the Yee Mein according to the packing instructions. Make sure not to over boil the Yee Mein. Drain and set aside on a big plate/bowl.
- In a big wok or deep skillet, heat up 3 tablespoons of cooking oil.
- Stir-fry the ginger until aromatic and drop in the lobster. Stir continuously until they start turning red, then add in the sauce, follow by the water.
- Continue to stir and coat the sauce nicely, then cover the wok/skillet with its lid and wait for a couple minutes or until the lobster pieces are cooked through. (Do not over cook the lobter as it will turn rubbery in texture!)
- Remove the lid and add the chopped scallions into the lobster.
- Add salt to taste if needed.
- Transfer the lobster out and pour onto the bed of yee mein. Serve immediately.
