Begin by preparing the vegetables: chop the cabbage into thin strips, peel and julienne the carrots, mince the garlic, and finely chop the ginger.
In a large frying pan or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped ginger to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cabbage and carrots. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they are tender but still crisp.
Pour in the soy sauce and toss the vegetables to ensure they are evenly coated.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to your taste.
Add the sesame seeds and continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish or as a main dish with a protein of your choice.
