Morphology
The meaning is a direct adjectival composition: 'fresh' (recently made/unspoiled) modifying 'sanga' (colloquial Australian for sandwich), so a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer 'a freshly made sandwich.' Although 'sanga' is regional slang, the semantic combination follows a common and transparent adjective+noun pattern found across languages.
Etymology
Fresh sanga comes from Australian slang where people shorten 'sandwich' to sanga. Adding fresh shows it was just made, so fresh sanga means 'a freshly made sandwich'.
