Ingredients

• 0.5 pound Ground pork
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 large Egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon Black beans, fermented (optional, for added umami flavor)
• 2 tablespoons Scallions, finely chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the ground pork. Cook the pork until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pan, add a small amount of oil and sauté the minced garlic and ginger for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the fermented black beans (if using) and stir briefly to combine with the garlic and ginger.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin sauce until well combined.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually pour the slurry into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 6

Return the cooked ground pork to the skillet, stirring to incorporate it into the sauce.

Step 7

Slowly drizzle the beaten egg into the sauce while stirring gently to create egg ribbons.

Step 8

Add the scallions, white pepper, and sesame oil, stirring everything together. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Serve the lobster sauce hot over steamed rice or as a topping for other seafood dishes. Garnish with additional scallions if desired.
