Treat your ingredients with care...
- Lobster — Ensure the lobsters are cooked and the meat is removed before starting the recipe to save time. Use fresh lobster for the best flavor.
- Garlic — Mince the garlic finely to release its full flavor into the sauce.
- Ginger — Grate the ginger using a fine grater to incorporate its aromatic essence into the dish.
- Cornstarch — Mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry before adding it to the sauce. This will prevent lumps from forming.

- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of chili oil to the sauce.
- Customize the dish by adding your favorite vegetables such as bell peppers, snow peas, or mushrooms.
- If lobster is not available, you can substitute it with shrimp or crab meat.
- Adjust the thickness of the sauce by adding more or less cornstarch slurry according to your preference.
- To enhance the presentation, garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or chopped cilantro.
