Default [URGENT] What would you make out of these ingredients?

My mum is always moaning about how she's gone off food, but I keep telling her it's because she doesn't 'expand her palette', and isn't willing to try anything new.
She sticks to traditional 'boring' english food like stews, pie's, chips, etc..all having a very 'dull' taste
I've managed to ween her onto things like red/yellow peppers, which she sturnly used to reject eating, same goes for things like spring onions, sweet chilli sauce (which she thought would be hot), hoi sin, etc.

So today whilst I was out I picked up some ingredients that i'll chuck together today

Anyways, I picked up the following:

2 Duck legs
Bak Choi
Baby Spinach leaves
Sugar spap peas
Coriander
Plum Sauce
Beatsprouts
Medium Egg Noodles
Sesame Oil


Then theres the obvious things in the cupboard here like soy sauce, oyster sauce, etc.

So shoot...what could I make out of those things?

Well there's an obvious stir fry there with the duck legs slow roasted and the plum sauce served on the side?
