Ingredients:

Serving

5 cups water
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup chinese rice wine or medium- dry sherry
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 (1-inch) cube peeled fresh ginger , smashed
3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
2 (2-inch-long) pieces asian dried tangerine peel
4 whole star anise (1 tbsp)
2 bunches scallions , cut into 1-inch pieces (4 cups)
1 (3- to 3 1/2-lb) chicken
1 tsp asian sesame oil
1 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 lb fresh shiitakes , stems discarded and caps cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

Bring water, soy sauce, rice wine, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, tangerine peel, star anise, and 2 cups scallions to a boil in an 8-quart pot, then reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Add whole chicken and simmer, covered, turning once, until just cooked through, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer chicken with a large slotted spoon to a platter and brush with sesame oil. Keep warm, covered with foil.
Pour cooking liquid through a sieve into a large bowl, discarding solids. Skim fat from surface and reserve 1 cup cooking liquid. (Cool remainder, uncovered, then freeze.) Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then stir-fry shiitakes and remaining 2 cups scallions with salt, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add reserved cooking liquid and boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Cut chicken into serving pieces and serve with sauce.
