Stir-Fried Lobster With Ginger and Spring Onions

Created by ImPat on October 26, 2014

1 raw crayfish (lobster raw)
Peanut oil (3 cups for frying- obviously all won't be used and will upset nutritional panel scores)

15 grams spring onions (scallions cut into 5cm slices, white portion only)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons rice wine

1/2 teaspoon light soy sauce
1 cup chicken stock
MARINADE
1 tablespoon egg white (lightly beaten)

1 pinch pepper

1 tablespoon cornflour (cornstarch mixed with a little water for thickening at the end)

Step 1: Mix the marinade ingreditents together.
Step 2: Remove the meat from the tail and cut into bite size pieces and mix with the marinade for 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 3: Heat the peanut oil in a hot wok until the oil is smoking and then reduce to a medium heat.
Step 4: Add the lobster pieces to the oil and cook for 1 minute and then remove with a slotted spoon, drain and put to one side.

Step 6: Put 2 tablespoons of the oil back in the wok and heat and then fry the ginger and spring onions for 30 seconds.
