  • Bell pepper (red or yellow) - 1 medium, sliced
  • Carrot - 1 medium, julienned
  • Broccoli florets - 100 grams
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced

  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Red pepper flakes - 1/4 teaspoon (optional)
  • Green onions - 2, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

  1. In a medium pot, bring water to a boil and add the cubed sweet potato. Cook for about 10 minutes until tender, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the sliced bell pepper, julienned carrot, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  6. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot in bowls.
