Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then halve it and remove the core. Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces.
Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water to make the teriyaki sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, tossing frequently, until the cabbage is slightly tender but still crisp.
Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the cabbage. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the cabbage evenly.
Remove from heat and transfer the teriyaki cabbage to a serving dish.
Garnish with sesame seeds and thinly sliced scallions before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
