How to eat
Serve this dish with steam white rice. Scoop the sauce with a spoon and pour it over your rice. Grab a lobster peice then pick out the meat with fork or chopstick. Eat the lobster meat with the sauce and rice mix.
Enjoy and thank you.

Nice, the pictures alone are to die for..

Iron Chef Chen Kinichi would cook them by ladling the hot oil over the top of cut open lobster. Just for a minute or two. Cut open to expose the lobster flesh, if that's not clear.
 
If you're a wuss like me & don't like killing & cutting up a live lobster (usually done by plunging a large sharp strong knife directly down between the eyes) for recipes like this, it's perfectly okay to bring a large pot of water to a boil & dunk the little fellow in for about a minute or until all movement stops, remove him, run him under cold water for a couple of minutes & proceed with the recipe, shortening the lobster recipe cooking time slightly.
