Cut beef against the grain in thin slices, then sliver. Shred celery and onion. Cut scallion in 1/2-inch sections. Mince ginger root. Mix cornstarch and egg white to make a batter. Add beef slivers and toss gently to coat. Meanwhile, heat oil. In one cup, combine soy sauce, sherry, sugar and salt. In another, blend remaining cornstarch and cold water to a paste. Place beef slivers in a wire basket. Immerse in oil until meat begins to turn golden (less than a minute). Drain on paper toweling. Heat remaining oil. Add celery, onion, scallion and ginger root. Stir-fry until slightly softened (about 1 minute). Stir in beef, then add soy-sherry mixture. Stir-fry only to heat through. Stir in cornstarch paste to thicken. Serve at once. VARIATION: In step 3, for the soy-sherry mixture, substitute 2 tablespoons oyster sauce. From <The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook>, ISBN 0-517-65870-4.
