        1    Fresh ginger piece (2");

        1 c  Green onions; sliced
      1/2 lb Fresh Shiitake or oyster

  Remove skin from chicken and place in a soup pot. Add stock, wine,
  ginger, and onions and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 20 to
  25 minutes or until chicken is just cooked through, skimming off
  any scum and fat that rises to the surface. Do not boil or stock
  will become cloudy.
  
  Remove stems from Shiitake and add to stock. Slice Shiitake caps
  thickly and quickly saute in drops of olive oil until lightly
  browned. Set aside.
  
  Remove chicken from pot and cut meat into long slivers discarding
  bones.
  
  Strain stock carefully and discard ginger, onions, and Shiitake
  stems. Wash out pot and add the cabbage and cook for 2 minutes. Add
  chicken, spinach, and sesame oil and cook for 1 minute more.
  Correct seasoning with salt and pepper and serve at once.
