This one-dish meal brings out great flavor by first stir-frying the meat and garlic in the duck's own rendered fat. The key is to cook the colorful bell peppers and onion only briefly so they keep their crisp texture. It is easy to prepare, making it a great light drinking snack for the summer or an easy dish to serve guests.

Steps
Microwaving the duck meat briefly renders out the congealed fat.
The slices stick together, so pull them apart by hand. Cut the vegetables to similar thicknesses and lengths, and thinly slice the garlic.
Add the duck meat and garlic, then stir-fry well so the garlic fragrance infuses the meat. You do not need to add any oil; just stir-fry in the fat that renders from the duck.
Stir-fry until the surface of the duck becomes slightly crisp for an enjoyable texture.
Instead of stir-frying in a pan, crisping it in an air fryer is also great since it drains off the grease.
Add the sliced vegetables along with 1 tbsp regular soy sauce (jin-ganjang), 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp mirin (cooking rice wine), and 1 tbsp corn syrup (mulyeot) from the seasonings. Stir-fry until the vegetables are lightly cooked and the flavors soak in.
Do not overcook them so you can enjoy their crisp texture.
Taste it and season with salt if it is bland, then finish by adding 1/2 tbsp toasted sesame oil, 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, and a little ground black pepper.

FAQ
Do I need to add cooking oil to the pan when stir-frying?
Smoked duck renders plenty of fat on its own, so you can stir-fry without adding any oil to the pan.
Can I use other vegetables besides bell peppers?
You can use various vegetables to your liking as secondary ingredients, such as mushrooms, carrots, or garlic chives.
Is there a tip for reducing the congealed duck fat before cooking?
Microwaving the meat briefly helps render out the solidified fat and makes it much easier to separate the stuck-together pieces.
Can I repurpose the finished stir-fry into other dishes?
It works great as a filling for pickled radish wraps served with hot mustard sauce, or inside Vietnamese fresh spring rolls paired with peanut sauce.
