Preparation

For the duck, place mushrooms in medium heatproof bowl; cover with boiling water. Let stand 20 mins; drain. Discard stems; slice caps thickly.
Combine mushrooms, 3 quarts water, stock, sake, mirin, tamari, 1/2 cup soy sauce, onion, garlic, ginger and sugar in stock pot. Add duck; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered, about 1 hour or until duck is cooked through. Remove from heat. Let duck stand in cooking liquid about 2 hours or until cool. Remove duck from cooking liquid. Let stand on wire rack 2 hours (discard cooking liquid). Cut duck into quarters.
Combine teriyaki and 1 tbsp soy sauce in small bowl; brush over duck skin. Cook duck, skin-side down, on heated oiled grill pan (or on the grill or under broiler), 5 mins. Turn duck skin-side up; brush with remaining teriyaki mixture. Cover; cook about 5 mins or until duck is heated through.
Meanwhile, for the cabbage and daikon salad, place carrot, daikon, cabbage, onion and chili pepper in medium bowl. Place miso, mirin, sake and sugar in small saucepan; stir on medium heat until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat; stir in vinegar and soy sauce. Add dressing to salad; toss gently to combine.
Serve duck with salad.
