- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Slice the cabbage into thin strips after discarding the tough core.
Mince the garlic cloves and peel and grate the ginger to prepare the aromatics.
Chop the green onions finely, separating the white and green parts.
Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.

Pour the soy sauce and sprinkle red chili flakes over the cabbage. Continue to stir fry for another 2-3 minutes.
Drizzle sesame oil over the cabbage and toss well to evenly coat.
Season the stir fry with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Stir in the white parts of the green onions and cook for an additional minute.
