Gai choy with bbq duck

While heading into the T&T market I walked by several people lined up for takeaway bbq animals. One of the ducks caught my eye, and I knew that I'd be back for him. (Well, technically just for half of him.) I had no idea what I'd make with him, or with the gai choy that I'd bought half an hour earlier. (Heck, I didn't even know that gai choy was Asian mustard greens!) So I was glad to find a way to combine the two of them in this dish.

Gai choy with bbq duck
inspired by this recipe

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 c bbq duck, chunked
bunch of gai choy, chopped
1/2 tsp fish sauce
1/2 tsp satay paste
1/4 tsp sesame oil

Stir-fry the garlic in some grapeseed oil along with the tougher stems of the gai choy. Toss in the duck as well. Continue to stir-fry for several minutes until the duck is heated through and the stems are thinking about softening.Add the rest of the greens and stir-fry until they are almost wilted. Add the remaining ingredients and stir thoroughly - the gai choy should be wilted through. Taste and adjust seasonings.
