Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a bowl. Whisk until well combined. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add broccoli and red bell pepper, season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add cubed chicken, season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.

  5. Return sautéed vegetables to the skillet, toss to coat with sauce. Cook for another minute.
  6. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve over cooked rice.
