Cut lobster meat in 1-inch cubes. Blend cornstarch and cold water to a paste; add to lobster cubes and toss gently to coat. Slice mushrooms. Cut scallion stalks in 1-inch sections. Mince garlic; then combine with soy sauce and sherry. Heat oil. Add scallions; stir-fry a few times. Add mushrooms and stir-fry until nearly done (2 to 3 minutes). Remove vegetables from pan. Heat remaining oil. Add salt and lobster cubes. Stir-fry until cubes begin to curl at the edges (about 3 to 4 minutes). Quickly stir in garlic-soy mixture. Then return mushrooms and scallions. Stir-fry to reheat and blend flavors (about 2 minutes more). Serve at once. VARIATIONS: For the mushrooms, substitute any of the following: 1 cup bamboo shoots, carrots, celery, green pepper or snow peas, cut in strips. In step 1, coat the lobster cubes with a batter made of 1 egg, beaten; 1/4 cup flour; and 1-1/2 tablespoons water. In step 3, add to the garlic-soy mixture 3 slices fresh ginger root, minced.
