1 Chinese barbecue duck
1 long red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 cm piece ginger, peeled and grated

Trim the choy sum, cut into short lengths and halve any thick stalks.
To cook: Heat the oil in a hot wok. Add the chilli mixture and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the Shaoxing wine, stirring to de-glaze.
