Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger in the olive oil over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 4 minutes. Lower the heat to medium, and continue stirring for 4 more minutes, until tender. Stir in the chili flakes for 1 minute.
Add the shredded cabbage, rice, veggie broth, salt, pepper, and bay leaves, give a stir, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer gently over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, or until cabbage and rice are both tender. Stir in ⅔ of the scallions.
Squeeze with lemon juice, taste, and adjust the broth with salt, pepper, and chili flakes. You want it flavorful- adding more salt and lemon to taste. If you make it too salty, add a little water.
Ladle into bowls, top with more scallions (or cilantro), a drizzle of toasted sesame oil if you like, or chili crisp (my favorite) or a little sriracha.
