Instructions

  1. 1

    {'id': 'step_0', 'step': 1, 'text': 'Rinse lobsters; hold bellies up. Stick a long skewer into small openings at bottom of the tails to drain any urine in the bodies. Crack the tails off; chop tails into small pieces and place in a bowl. Crack the claws in half; add to tails. Cut the body up (if you know how to eat a lobster); add to tails and claws.'}

  2. 2

    {'id': 'step_1', 'step': 2, 'text': 'Heat ½ peanut oil in a deep heavy skillet over medium heat. Add crushed garlic; cook about 1 minute. Add lobster; cook until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer lobster and garlic to a plate; keep warm.'}

  3. 3

    {'id': 'step_2', 'step': 3, 'text': 'Heat remaining ½ oil in the skillet. Add pork and minced ginger; cook until pork is no longer pink. Add chicken broth; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Whisk sherry, soy sauce, cornstarch, and brown sugar together in a small bowl until well blended; stir into skillet. Cook until thick and becomes somewhat clear, 1 to 2 minutes.'}

  4. 4

    {'id': 'step_3', 'step': 4, 'text': 'Stir in green onions; remove from heat. Drizzle in beaten eggs; stir until eggs are in little pieces. Return lobster to the skillet; cook over low heat to blend the flavors, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish; let stand, covered, before serving, about 3 minutes. Serve with steamed rice.'}
