Fry the onions, lemongrass and ginger in a little olive oil until golden brown. Deglaze the pan with the sherry and boil for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sherry vinegar, Worcester sauce, honey and chicken stock and simmer gently for 1 hour.
Slowly add the soya sauce to adjust the salt levels. Tweak the sweet sour levels with the vinegar and honey and, when balanced correctly, strain into a separate pan. Bring back to the boil and add the mushrooms.
Boil for 3 to 4 minutes until just soft and serve immediately.
