This is one of my favourite quick and easy meals. You can use any shellfish of your choice, such as prawns, crabs, or even clams. Today, I'm using a small lobster or also known as Canner lobster, as they are very priced at the moment, and taste really good too.

1 Canner or small Lobster, halved
50 grams Glass Noodles/Mung Bean Threads

1 Red Chili, sliced
2 Tbsp Coarsely Chopped Coriander

Method
Soak the glass noodles in cold water for 5 minutes. Drain and cut into shorter length. (about 6 to 8 inches) Mix the glass noodles with oyster sauce, light soy sauce, chicken granules, fish sauce, cooking wine, and water. Set aside.
Heat a small pot (preferably, clay pot) over medium heat. When the pot is hot, add cooking oil, black pepper, ginger, garlic, Chinese celery, coriander, and scallions. Mix the ingredients for few seconds, then add the glass noodle mixture. Top with lobster, crab, or prawns, and cover with a lid. Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, or until the seafood is just cook. Then drizzle some sesame oil, a few grinds of black pepper, and garnish with chili, scallion, and some coriander. Serve immediately.
