   In a fine mesh strainer set over another pot, strain the sauce, pressing firmly with the back of a ladle to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the vegetables. Bring to a boil. Add the cornstarch mixture and whisk to combine. Simmer for 2 minutes. Adjust the seasoning. Stir in the lobster and cook for 2 minutes until heated through.
