Chilli Lobster image

We made this simple, tasty lobster dish while on our caravaning (RV'ing) trip to the Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia, also excellent made with crab or prawns. A recipe from the Cooks Companion by Stephanie Alexander. Thanks to kdlpmum for recommending this amazing book! I normally use a bit less lobster meat (750grams) - I guess it depends on cost and what is available.

Number Of Ingredients 15

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
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

Steps:

  • 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.
