2. Take the pan off the heat, let cool, then stir in ginger, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, and onions. Reserve 2 tablespoons in separate dish.
3. In a bowl, stir together ham, water chestnuts, pea pods, celery, and mushrooms. Coat with sesame dressing (all but the reserved 2 tablespoons).
4. Slice off the top portion of bread loaf to form a 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick lid. Pull out soft center of bread, leaving a shell about 3/8-inch thick.
