KOWLOON'S LOBSTER SAUCE (FROM KOWLOON'S OF NEW ENGLAND MA)
I love lobster sauce and this was published in the Boston Herald as an answer to a request. by the way, it has no lobster in it in case you never had it before! I'm revising the quantities because I think they made a mistake on the amount of water. I used more black bean sauce and garlic, subbed the molasses with sugar because I didn't have any molasses and left out the egg. I like my way better!

A Weight Watchers recipes that tastes identical to the lobster sauce served in Chinese restaurants in our area.

To the best of my knowledge Chinese restaurants use pork so it could be an alternative to the ground beef.
