Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

6 tablespoons sesame seeds

3/4 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons sesame oil

2 medium onions -- thinly sliced

1 large carrot -- thinly sliced

1 small head of cabbage -- coarsely chopped

 

Combine the sesame seeds and salt in a blender jar, or in a spice grinder or a

clean electric coffee grinder. Grind until they achieve the consistency of

coarse meal. (This is called gomasio or sesame salt.) Set aside.

 

Heat a medium-sized wok or large deep skillet. Add the sesame oil and the

onions. Stir-fry over medium-high heat for several minutes. Add about a

tablespoon of the gomasio. Keep stir-frying until the onions are soft and

translucent (5 to 8 minutes).

 

Add the carrots and cabbage, and sprinkle in about half the remaining gomasio.

Keep stir-frying until everything is tender (another 10 to 15 minutes).

Sprinkle in the remaining gomasio, and serve.
