Instructions: 1. With a cleaver, chop lobster lengthwise in half; then clean. Chop each half, shell and all, in 1-1/2 inch sections. Chop claws in two. Arrange lobster, meat-side up, on a heatproof platter.

2. Mince or grind pork, scallions and ginger root; beat eggs lightly. Then combine, together with oil, soy sauce, sherry, salt, sugar and pepper.

Blend well.

3. Spread mixture over lobster and stream until done (about 30 minutes).

See "How-to Section". Garnish with shredded lettuce and serve. VARIATIONS:

1. For the lobster, substitute 6 crabs.

a. 1/4 pound pork, minced; 1 teaspoon fermented black beans (soaked), mashed together with 2 garlic cloves, minced; 2 eggs, lightly beaten; 1 tablespoon smoked ham and 1 scallion stalk, both minced; and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

b. 1/4 pound pork, minced; 4 dried black mushrooms (soaked), minced, 4 water chestnuts, minced; 1 tablespoon oil, 1 teaspoon sherry, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon sugar and the white of a Chinese salt egg. (After spreading mixture over lobster, mash the yolk of the salt egg and sprinkle on top.)
