Ingredients
Method
In skillet, toast sesame seeds over medium-low heat until light golden, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
Cut cabbage into 1-1/2-inch (4 cm) wide strips to make about 3 cups (750 mL). Coarsely chop Chinese greens. Cut carrots in half lengthwise; thinly slice on diagonal. Set aside.
In wok or large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; stir-fry green onions, garlic and ginger for 1 minute. Stir in carrots and snow peas; stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add 2 tbsp (25 mL) water; cover and steam until vegetables are tender, about 2 minutes.
Add cabbage, Chinese greens, Chinese wine (if using), soy sauce and sugar; stir-fry until greens are wilted, about 3 minutes. Drizzle with sesame oil, tossing to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
