Instructions

Begin by preparing the stir fry sauce. In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, toasted sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sriracha, cornstarch, and water. Set the sauce aside.
Chop the broccoli into small florets and slice the red bell pepper, onion, and carrots into similarly sized pieces. Slice the green onions and set them aside.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, approximately ½-inch in size.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. When hot, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and swirl to coat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, then remove it from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of cooking oil and toss in the carrots and broccoli. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until the broccoli turns bright green.
Add the red bell pepper and onion to the skillet, stir-frying for another 1-2 minutes.
Stir the sauce again, then return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the stir fry sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Combine everything and allow the sauce to simmer, thickening and becoming glossy. Cook for 1-2 more minutes until the vegetables are at your desired tenderness.
Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions (and sesame seeds if desired), and serve.

Notes

You can customize the vegetables based on your preference or what you have on hand.
For a spicier kick, add more sriracha or some red pepper flakes to the sauce.
