How to cook it

  1. Heat oil in large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Rub kangaroo with oyster sauce and place in frying pan, cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or to your liking.
  2. Rest for 10 minutes under foil, then slice thinly.
  3. Combine sliced kangaroo, mint, coriander, basil, lemongrass and shallots in a large mixing bowl. Toss to combine.
  4. For the dressing, pound the garlic and chilli to a paste using a pestle and mortar. Place paste in a small bowl, add lime juice, fish sauce and sugar to taste, stirring until well combined. Check flavours so that the salty, sour, sweet elements are balanced.
  5. To serve the salad, add dressing and toss to combine. Serve salad garnished with crispy fried shallots and peanuts.
