Lower in clam shells, a few at a time, stuffing-side up; and deep-fry, basting with hot oil, until golden (about 3 minutes). Drain on paper toweling. Shred onion. Heat remaining oil. Add onion and stir-fry to soften slightly (about 1 minute). Then add stock and heat quickly. Add stuffed clam shells and simmer, covered, 10 minutes. Add remaining sherry; simmer, covered, 10 minutes more, and serve. From <The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook>, ISBN 0-517-65870-4.
