Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb thinly sliced kangaroo loin strips, stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the meat just changes color but remains tender.
  3. Step 3: Toss in 1 sliced red bell pepper, 1 cup snow peas, and 3 sliced spring onions, stir-frying for another 2 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: Mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp native pepperberry powder, 1/2 tsp chili flakes (if using), and 1 tbsp lime juice in a small bowl. Pour over the stir-fry and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Step 5: Cook for an additional 1 minute until sauce thickens slightly and coats the ingredients. Remove from heat and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
