Prepare all the vegetables: cut the broccoli into small florets, slice the bell peppers and onion, slice the zucchini into half-moons, julienne the carrots, and trim the ends off the snow peas.
In a small bowl, combine the low-sodium vegetable broth, low-sodium soy sauce, and cornstarch. Whisk together until the cornstarch is fully dissolved to create a slurry.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the garlic and ginger to the pan, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the broccoli, red onion, and carrots to the pan. Stir fry for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the bell peppers, zucchini, and snow peas to the pan. Continue to stir fry for another 3 minutes, until all vegetables are tender-crisp.
Pour the veggie broth slurry into the pan, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and coats the vegetables, about 2 minutes.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the vegetables and toss to coat.
Remove from heat and transfer the stir fry to a serving dish.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving.
