Instructions

Using a fork, blend the sesame tahini and oil in a glass measuring cup. Add the hot broth and stir to thin. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Taste test. Does it need a little heat? Sweetness? More tahini? Salt?
Prepare your wok with a little oil; set on medium high heat.
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.
Serve over rice. Garnish with a wedge of fresh lime.
