Give it a try and see if you can make it better. I would appreciate any suggestions.

• 1 stalk celery, cut in three
• 1 carrot, peeled and cut in
• three three
• 1 onion, cut in quarters

• 2 inches thinly sliced ginger

Preparation

Step 1

Remove breasts from duck and roast them until cooked. Break into shreds and set aside.

Slowly simmer remaining duck with carrot, celery and onion to create a broth.

Soak mushrooms, fungus and orange peel and set aside.

Drain and skim fat from broth. Throw out carcass.

Add Shitakes, fungus and orange peel including liquid to the broth.

Add other ingredients and simmer until flavourful.
