Instructions

In a measuring cup, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, starch, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until blended and set aside.
Warm sesame seeds in a skillet over medium heat, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, warm oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring every 30 seconds, until onions soften, about 4 to 6 minutes.
Add bell peppers and broccoli, stir to combine. Pour in water and cover the pan. Cook, stirring every minute, until veggies are fork-tender and browning, about 7 to 9 minutes.
Remove from heat, pour in prepared sauce, and stir to coat veggies. Taste and adjust salt as needed. Serve garnished with sesame seeds and green onion.
