Start by preparing the vegetables: cut the broccoli into small florets, slice the carrot into thin diagonal pieces, deseed and slice the red bell pepper into strips, and trim the ends of the snow peas.
Slice the red onion into thin wedges, mince the garlic cloves, and grate the ginger.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to create a stir-fry sauce.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the vegan chicken pieces and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the garlic, ginger, and red onion. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the broccoli, carrot, red bell pepper, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the vegan chicken to the skillet and pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the mixture.
Continue to stir-fry for another 3 minutes, ensuring the sauce thickens and everything is well coated.
Finely slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the stir-fry along with sesame seeds before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful Vegan Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry!
