Wok Lobster

1. Fill bottom third of wok with water.

2. Insert notched bamboo sticks crosswise.

3. Rest shallow heat-proof plate on sticks.

4. Put lemon wedge on plate.

5. Cover.

6. Bring to a boil.

7. Lift cover away from body.

8. Place lobsters on plate.

9. Quickly re-cover.

10. Hold cover down until movement stops.

11. Steam for 17 minutes.

12. Remove with tongs.

13. Enjoy with your favorite seasonings.

Tips:

1. Load limit is two normal sized (1-1/4 lb.) lobsters.

2. Spread a half-pound of shrimp on the plate after removing the lobster and re-cover, they'll cook in 4-5 minutes.

3. Don't remove the pegs or bands from the lobster claws until after they're cooked!

4. Some of the newer, fancier woks may not include those notched sticks. Or, if you lost yours, the lobster can still be steamed without the supported plate, as most of it will be out of the water (all bets are off for the shrimp in the 2nd tip though).
