Instructions

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, toasted sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sriracha, cornstarch, and water to create the stir fry sauce. Set it aside.
Chop broccoli into small florets, slice the red bell pepper, onion, and carrots, and prepare the green onions for garnish.
Cut the chicken breasts into ½-inch pieces.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and swirl to coat. Cook the chicken until browned, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil with the carrots and broccoli. Stir-fry for about 1 minute, until the broccoli is bright green.
Add the red bell pepper and onion, continuing to stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Stir the sauce again, then incorporate the cooked chicken back into the skillet. Pour the sauce over the mixture and stir well, letting it simmer for a couple of minutes until thickened and glossy. Cook until the vegetables reach your desired tenderness.
Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired, then serve.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the stir fry sauce sit for a few minutes before cooking.
