Delicious Chinese Duck Coleslaw

This is a healthy alternative to the traditional creamy coleslaws that we grew up with. Great fresh Asian flavours. Excellent as a side dish at a BBQ. I either buy a pre-cooked duck from my local Asian supermarket or cook a couple of duck breasts which I purchase at the supermarket.
