Add broccoli, red bell pepper, green opions, onions. Sprinkle with a little kosher salt and ground black pepper. Let cook, stirring occasionally, about 2-3 minutes. Remove vegetables from the pan and set aside.
Step 3
Make the sauce: Meanwhile, combine chicken broth, soy sauce,garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a medium bowl, whisk to combine.
Step 4
Heat the sauce: In the same skillet, add the sauce mixture and bring to a light simmer. Add arrowroot and whisk constantly until the sauce begins to thicken, about 2-4 minutes.
Step 5
