Story
This classic home-style dish transforms simple ingredients into something spectacular. The key is having your duck intestines already braised and ready to go—if you can't find them pre-made, boil them first until tender, then marinate in soy sauce and spices.

Instructions
Prep the ingredients
Cut the braised duck intestines into 2-inch sections. Trim the garlic scapes, wash them well, pat completely dry, and cut into similar-length pieces.
Start the stir-fry
Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the duck intestines and dried chili strips. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes until the intestines are heated through and slightly caramelized.
Add color and flavor
Drizzle the dark soy sauce over the mixture and toss quickly to coat everything evenly. The sauce will add a beautiful amber color and deeper savory notes.
Finish with garlic scapes
Add the garlic scapes and salt. Stir-fry for just 1-2 minutes until the scapes are tender-crisp but still bright green. Work quickly to avoid overcooking.
Serve immediately
Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy right away with plenty of steamed rice.
