- Add the onion to the wok and stir till softened. Add the garlic, carrots and cabbage; season with sea salt and stir.
- When the cabbage has melted a bit, add the prepared shrimp, wakame, water chestnuts and green tomato. Stir.
- When the shrimp has just turned pink, add the sesame stir-fry sauce and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook briefly until heated through (shrimp should be firm and opaque). Squeeze half a lime over the stir-fry and stir.
