Note

Wine Pairing: A Gewurztraminer pairs well with the spicy and sweet notes of this dish.

Storage: This dish is best served immediately. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the lobster.

Variations: Adjust the amount of hot chili oil to control the spice level. For a milder version, reduce the chili oil by half.

Tip: Ensure the wok is very hot before adding the lobster to achieve a good sear and prevent steaming.
