Peel and finely dice the onion. Core and thinly slice the bell pepper. Peel the carrot and cut it into thin rounds. Chop the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, maple syrup, cornstarch, and water. Whisk until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the plant-based ground meat, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion, sliced bell pepper, and carrot rounds. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the broccoli florets, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Return the cooked plant-based ground meat to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the stir-fry. Stir well to combine, ensuring everything is coated with the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the stir-fry just before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds.
Serve hot over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
