   4 to 6 dried black mushrooms
   1/2 cup bamboo shoots
   1/4 cup water chestnuts
   1 cup Chinese cabbage
   2 slices fresh ginger root
   2 tablespoons sherry
   1 tablespoon water
   1 teaspoon soy sauce
   1/4 teaspoon pepper
   1 tablespoon cornstarch
   1 teaspoon sugar
   1 teaspoon soy sauce
   1/4 cup water
   1/2 head lettuce
   1 fish (2 pounds)
   Oil for deep-frying

4. Blend cornstarch, sugar, remaining soy sauce and water to a paste.

5. Shred lettuce and arrange on a serving platter.

6. Heat oil. (Use enough to cover fish completely.) Add fish and deep-fry until done, 8 to 15 minutes, depending on size. (Allow about 1 minute on each side over high heat, about 4 minutes on each side over medium heat, and about 1 minute on each side over high heat again.) Drain on paper toweling. Keep warm.

8. Add ginger-sherry mixture and stir-fry 1 minute more.

9. Add stock and bring to a boil. Cook, covered, 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat.

10. Stir in cornstarch paste to thicken. Place fish on lettuce bed. Pour thickened sauce over and serve, garnished with parsley.

VARIATIONS:
* For the water chestnuts, substitute 12 lily buds (soaked). In step 4, use dark or heavy soy sauce and add 2 teaspoons sherry. In step 7, add to reheated oil, after the salt, 1/8 pound lean pork, shredded. Stir-fry 1 minute until meat changes color; then add vegetables and stir-fry. Continue with step 8.
* In step 7, add with the vegetables 1/2 cup roast pork, shredded.
