1/4 cup of Cornstarch
2 lightly beaten Eggs
2 tbsps. Sherry
1 tbsp. Honey
1 tsp. fresh ginger, grated or pressed
3/4 tsp. Salt

In a bowl, mix together milk, cornstarch, flour, garlic, salt and eggs until it forms a batter that is smooth.
In another bowl, combine ginger, sherry, lemon juice and honey then marinate the cubed lobster, chicken (sliced into 1×2-inch pcs.), shrimps (split in the back) or some thinly sliced pork for 15 mins.
Fry up the marinated pieces using some peanut oil just until they turn lightly brown.
Note: You actually can cool off the fried pcs. inside the refrigerator if you want then later on dip it back into the batter then refry them up until they are golden and browned.
This makes it even more crunchy and makes for a good appetizer for any party. You can prepare this ahead of time and then serve it really hot when the party starts. This recipe can make enough batter for about 1 pound of Chicken, Lobster meat, shrimp or the Pork.
