- Sauté Aromatics: Toss in the diced onion and minced garlic into the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and softened.
- Add Cabbage: Gently stir in the shredded cabbage. Sauté it for around 5 minutes, allowing it to become tender yet slightly crisp.
- Mix Sauce Ingredients: Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ground ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
