6 dried mushrooms
1 whole duck 4-5 lbs, washed and cut into serving-size pieces
cornstarch for dusting
oil for deep-frying
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon dry sherry
1 teaspoon ginger grated
2 cups chicken stock
8 ounces bamboo shoots drained and thinly sliced
8 ounces water chestnuts drained and thinly sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch plus additional, for dusting
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
5 green onions sliced

1
Soak the mushrooms in hot water for 20 mins. Drain and squeeze dry. Remove the stems and slice the mushrooms thinly.
2
Meanwhile, coat the duck pieces lightly in cornstarch. Heat the oil in wok or large skillet on medium-high heat. Add the garlic and 1/2 the duck pieces and cook until well browned. Remove from the pan. Repeat with the remaining duck pieces.
3
Place 1 tbsp soy sauce, sherry and ginger in a large saucepan on medium-high heat. Add the duck pieces and cook for 2 mins, stirring occasionally. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer gently for 2 1/4 hours or until the duck is tender.
4
Thirty minutes before the cooking is completed, add the mushrooms, bamboo shoots and water chestnuts. When the duck is tender, skim off any fat. Mix the cornstarch, sugar, remaining 1 tsp soy sauce, 3/4 cup water and sesame oil in a small bowl. Add to the pan. Stir until the sauce boils and thickens. Season. Top with onions and serve.
