Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the cabbage, bell pepper, and green onions into thin strips. Julienne the carrot, then set aside the chopped ingredients.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, and black pepper.
  3. Heat a large wok over medium-high heat, adding vegetable oil to coat the surface.
  4. Add minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Toss in the bell pepper and julienned carrot, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Incorporate the sliced cabbage, continuing to stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
  7. Pour the sauce mixture over the vegetables, tossing to coat evenly.
  8. Stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
  9. Remove from heat and garnish with green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
  10. Serve hot, optionally alongside steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

Ensure your vegetables are cut evenly to promote even cooking. Stir-frying at medium-high heat helps retain the crunch of the vegetables.
