    1

    Start by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces, around 1 inch in size.

    2

    In a bowl, mix the chicken with cornstarch, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.

    3

    While the chicken is marinating, chop the bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot into bite-sized pieces.

    4

    Heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

    5

    Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, stirring occasionally.

    6

    Add the chopped vegetables to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

    7

    Taste and adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce if needed.
