Ingredients:

  • 2 lobster tails (about 1 pound each)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon salted black beans, (also called fermented black beans) pounded and soaked in 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, chopped fine
  • 1 scallion, chopped fine
  • 1/4 pound ground pork
  • 2 tablespoons sherry
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce

  • 2 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 to 4 cups oil for deep-frying and stir-frying

Preparation:

Cut each lobster tail in half. Wash thoroughly. Drain. Cut tails into pieces 1 1/2 inches in length, leaving shells on.

Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the flour on lobster.

Mix garlic with black bean mixture in a bowl. Stir well.

Heat oil for deep-frying to smoking hot. Put in lobster pieces. Deep-fry until shells are red. Drain. Remove.

Reheat 1 tablespoon of oil in wok. Stir-fry black bean mixture 30 seconds. Remove.

Reheat 2 tablespoons of oil in wok. Stir-fry ginger and scallion until there is an aroma, about 30 seconds. Add pork. Stir-fry on high heat until color changes. Add 1 tablespoon of sherry, soy sauce, black bean mixture, and stock. Bring to boil.
