Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Thinly slice the scallions and set them aside for garnish.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up for 1 minute.

Cook the cabbage for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it softens and begins to caramelize around the edges.
Step 8
Drizzle the soy sauce and apple cider vinegar over the cabbage, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors together.
