Ingredients

1 Live Main Lobster

Corn Oil for frying and saute

1 Ginger Root Sliced in strips

1 bunch Scallions Sliced in strips

200 ml Dry sake

1 teaspoon Cane Sugar

1 teaspoon Soy Sauce

1 teaspoon Corn Starch


Directions

Boil the lobster for 1 minute to kill it and then use a big kitchen knife to cut off claws, slice the lobster down the middle and cut up tail into pieces (three pieces per tail). Also take a meat tenderizer and pound all claws and joints to crack them to make it easier to access the meat. Fill a fry pan with corn oil and bring the oil up to 180 degrees celcius. Drop the meat in and fry for 30-40 seconds (the meat cooks very quickly). Remove the lobster and let the oil drain off it over paper towels. Remove almost all of the oil from the pan except a little bit and throw in the ginger and the scallion. Let this sauté for 45 seconds and then add the sake, sugar and soy sauce to the pan and let reduce for a minute while in a small cup taking the corn starch and mixing it with a VERY little bit of water (just enough to make the corn starch into a liquid)... Add the corn starch liquid to the pan and then throw the lobster in as well. Mix it all up in the pan before plating it with white rice.
