A quick and flavorful stir-fried cabbage dish with a hint of Chinese five-spice and sesame.
Heat a wok over medium heat until hot.
Ensure the wok is evenly heated before adding ingredients for consistent cooking.
Add the sesame oil and swirl to coat the wok.
Swirling the oil ensures it coats the wok evenly, preventing sticking.
Add the shredded green and red cabbage and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
Keep stirring to avoid burning and to cook the cabbage evenly.
Pour in the water, cover with a lid, and let it steam for 3 minutes.
Steaming helps soften the cabbage while retaining its vibrant color.
Remove the lid, add the five-spice powder, soy sauce, salt, and pepper, and stir-fry for another minute.
Mix well to ensure the spices coat the cabbage evenly.
Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately.
Serve hot to enjoy the full flavor and texture of the dish.
