Stir-Fried Chinese Yam Leaf with Dace in Black Bean Sauce

Tinned dace is one of those cupboard staples that Cantonese cooking leans on, because it is cheap, keeps forever and brings a savoury depth no fresh fish gives for nothing. Stir it in late and off the heat so it stays as flakes rather than breaking down. This is fifteen-minute cooking, and the greens still have to snap when they hit the plate.
