Stir-Fried Lobster

 
Ingredients

1 pound Maine lobster meat
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ cup water
½ cup sliced mushrooms
¼ cup chopped celery
¼ cup sliced green pepper
2 each scallion stalks
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sherry
5 tablespoons oil
½ teaspoon salt

Cut lobster meat into 1 inch cubes. Blend cornstarch and cold water to a paste, add lobster cubes and toss gently to coat. Slice mushrooms, celery, and green pepper. Cut scallion stalks into 1 inch sections. Mince garlic, then combine with soy sauce and sherry. Heat 2 tablespoons oil and add scallions. Stir-fry a few minutes, then add remaining vegetables and stir-fry until nearly done (2 to 3 minutes). Remove vegetables from the pan. Heat the remaining oil. Add salt and lobster cubes. Stir-fry until cubes begin to curl at the edges (about 3 to 4 minutes). Quickly stir in garlic-soy mixture, return vegetable to pan and stir-fry to re-heat and blend flavors (about 2 minutes).
