Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage, then cut it in half. Slice one half into thin strips and set aside (store the other half for another use).
Clean the mushrooms using a damp paper towel to remove any dirt, then slice them thinly.
Peel and finely mince the garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden brown.
Add the sliced cabbage to the pan. Toss together with the mushrooms and garlic, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and soy sauce. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the cabbage and mushroom mixture to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
