Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut it in half, remove the core, and then thinly slice both halves.
Peel the carrots and cut them into thin matchsticks.
Core and thinly slice the red bell pepper.
Thinly slice the green onions, separating the white and green parts.
Grate the ginger and mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, honey, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes. Set aside.
Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the grated ginger and minced garlic. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced white parts of the green onions, carrots, and red bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for 2 minutes.
Add the sliced cabbage to the pan and stir well, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the cabbage has softened slightly.
Pour the lemon juice dressing over the stir-fry and toss to coat all the vegetables evenly.
Stir in the green parts of the onions, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, and then remove the pan from the heat.
Serve immediately, garnishing with additional green onion slices, if desired.
