In a large bowl, combine the cleaned spring cabbage and the julienned carrots. Add all the seasoning ingredients: fish sauce, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, sugar, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds. Gently toss everything together, ensuring the seasoning is evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to maintain the cabbage’s crisp texture.
