Instructions

In a measuring cup, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, starch, garlic, and red pepper flakes until blended; set aside.
Warm sesame seeds in a skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute until fragrant; transfer to a plate.
Heat oil in the skillet over medium heat, add onion, carrots, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes until onions soften.
Add bell peppers and broccoli; stir. Pour in water, cover, and cook for 7 to 9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender.
Remove from heat, pour in the prepared sauce, and stir to coat. Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm, garnished with sesame seeds and green onion.
