Instructions

Cut the cabbage into halves and then quarters. Remove the core and slice the cabbage into thin ¼-inch strips.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly browned.
Stir in sesame oil, garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, and green onions, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in lemon juice. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Serve immediately, topped with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, consider sautéing some crushed red pepper flakes along with the garlic and ginger.
Substitute the sesame oil with other oils if preferred, but it does add a distinctive flavor.
This dish pairs well with grilled meats or can be enjoyed as a light main course.
