Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced kangaroo loin steak and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove from wok and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same wok, add 2 tsp minced fresh ginger, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 thinly sliced red chili. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 1/4 cup chopped dried bush tomatoes and 3 sliced spring onions to the wok, stir-frying for 1 minute until softened.
  4. Step 4: Return the kangaroo to the wok along with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp fresh lime juice, and 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the meat.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 1/3 cup roasted cashew nuts just before serving to add crunch and nutty flavor.
