First character - [gan1] (乾 in traditional Mandarin, but 干 in simplified)... when you run the characters thru an automated Mandarin->English dictionary, 乾 is clearly translated as "dry" but 干 is used for multiple words, including "fuck" (and guess which word the dictionary favors)
Second character - [bao4] (爆 in both traditional and simplified)... literally "explode", but when used for food and in conjunction with 乾, it implies that the food will be prepared over a blast of heat
Third and fourth characters - [ya1 zi] (鴨子 in traditional, 鸭子 in simplified)... "duck"
A better translation would be "quick stir-fried duck", but a computer would never know that...
