Begin by preparing all ingredients: mince the garlic, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, slice the onion, and grate the ginger.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the oil, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Increase the heat to high and immediately add the broccoli florets, sliced onion, and red bell pepper.
Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Pour in the soy sauce and continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the vegetables are well-coated with the sauce.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry and sprinkle in the sesame seeds, tossing the vegetables to combine all the flavors.
Remove the stir-fry from the heat and serve immediately, dividing it evenly among four plates or bowls.
