Add the sliced red bell pepper to the skillet and stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly tender.

Increase the heat to high and add the cabbage strips, stirring continuously to combine with the ginger, garlic, and red pepper.

Continue to stir-fry for another 5 minutes until the cabbage is tender-crisp.
