Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb thinly sliced kangaroo loin and 1 tbsp wattleseed powder, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until the meat is browned but still tender.
  3. Step 3: Toss in 1 large sliced red bell pepper, 1 cup snow peas, and 3 sliced spring onions. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: Stir together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 1/4 tsp chili flakes in a small bowl, then pour into the wok, tossing everything to coat evenly and cook for another minute until the sauce thickens and glazes the meat and vegetables.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1/3 cup roughly chopped macadamia nuts and 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander over the top for crunch and freshness before serving.

How do I store leftover Kangaroo Stir-Fry with Wattleseed and Macadamia Nuts?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep thinly sliced kangaroo loin from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Kangaroo Stir-Fry with Wattleseed and Macadamia Nuts?

For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Kangaroo Stir-Fry with Wattleseed and Macadamia Nuts for a different number of people?
