Prepare the vegetables by cutting the broccoli into florets and slicing the carrot and bell pepper into thin strips.
In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, sliced carrot, and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Pour in 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, stirring to coat the vegetables evenly. Continue to cook and stir for another 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle 0.5 teaspoon of red pepper flakes and 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds over the stir-fry. Toss well to distribute the seasoning.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve the broccoli stir-fry hot, as a side dish or main course, accompanied by steamed rice or noodles if desired.
