My Shrimp with Lobster Sauce

I like this recipe very much,
it might not be authentic but
it tastes really close to it.
I made this without any chicken
stock and with what I had on hand.

Ingredients:
1 cup white rice
2 cups water
8 large shrimp
1 carrot, peeled and sliced
1 celery stalk, sliced
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
1 cup iceberg lettuce, chopped
1 tablespoon corn starch
1 cup water
1/4 cup white port wine
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon black bean sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chinese fried noodles
1 large egg, beaten

Directions:
In a pot bring 2 cups water to a boil,
add rice, cover and reduce heat to low.
Simmer 20 minutes until done, set aside.
In a soup pot place beef and brown,
breaking up meat with spoon.
In a bowl combine corn starch, sugars,
soy and black bean sauce, mix well.
Add corn starch mixture to beef.
Add shrimp and vegetables and bring
to a boil stirring once in a while.
Remove shrimp when they just turn pink.
Stir in chinese canned fried noodles.
Shut off heat and let sit 30 minutes
to cook the vegetables while shrimp cool.
Peel and cut up shrimp to desired pieces.
Add lettuce and shrimp to beef in pot,
Stir in beaten egg and bring to a simmer.
Just to heat through and then
serve over cooked white rice.
