Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prep the Ingredients: Start by gathering and chopping everything you need. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, and chop the broccoli florets and bell peppers for easy cooking.
  2. Heat the Wok: In a large wok, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers, creating the perfect environment for a quick stir-fry.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the hot wok. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, breaking apart any clumps, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
  4. Add Aromatics: Toss in minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, allowing those wonderful aromas to fill your kitchen, ensuring the garlic doesn’t burn.
  5. Mix in the Veggies: Incorporate the broccoli florets and bell peppers into the wok. Stir-fry for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
  6. Season the Dish: Pour in the soy sauce and sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Toss everything together and cook for another minute to blend the flavors beautifully.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added flavor and color.
