1. Soak dried mushrooms.

3. Heat oil in a large heavy pan. Brown scallions and ginger lightly; then

4. Turn duck breast-side down in pan. Add sherry, remaining soy sauce and
enough water to half cover bird. Bring to a boil; then simmer, covered, 1

5. Meanwhile slice onions, bamboo shoots and soaked mushrooms. Heat
remaining oil in another pan, and stir-fry onion until soft and

6. Add bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and onions to duck, and simmer, covered,
until bird is tender (about 30 minutes more). Remove duck, leaving liquids
in pan.
7. Let bird cool slightly. With a cleaver, chop duck, bones and all, in
2-inch sections, or carve, Western style. Arrange on a serving platter with
vegetables. Keep warm.
8. Bring liquids in pan to a boil and stir in sugar. Meanwhile blend
cornstarch and remaining cold water to a paste; then stir in to thicken
