Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes.
Add oil and cabbage to the skillet and toss to coat. Add 1 tablespoon of water and cover with lid. Cook for 3 minutes.
Uncover and stir. season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking uncovered, stirring occasionally to allow the cabbage to develop browned caramelized edges, for an additional 5-8 minutes to desired doneness.
When cabbage is tender-crisp, remove from heat. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
