Really enjoyed this one Fairy Nuff! I made a few alterations to the recipe but only because of what I had on hand, I used snow pea sprouts rather than pods and peanuts instead of pine nuts (not close substitutes I know!) and of course with pea sprouts didn't attempt to cook in any way before adding to the wok. You didn't make mention of the temperature for the wok / pan but a fairly gentle cooking was in order once the lobster was added and it worked well. Originally I was going to make the recipe using long asparagus cuts but in the end decided to chop a little shorter so I could eat using chopsticks. As soon as though I'd converted your recipe to chopstickable (new word?) format I also added some bamboo shoots from the first stage of cooking. All in all a top meal!Reply
