Add the chicken stock and cook a few minutes. Add the reserved lobster juice.

Strain sauce well through a colander lined with cheesecloth or a fine chinois. Discard vegetables.

Return sauce to saucepan and add the coconut milk. Cook a few minutes and add the lobster pieces. Mix the cornstarch and water and stir into sauce to thicken.
