Ingredients

2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari, or liquid aminos, or coconut aminos
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small yellow onion sliced
3-4 bell peppers any color, seeded and sliced into thin strips
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2-3 cloves garlic minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Roasted sesame seeds for serving optional

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, honey, and cornstarch. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell peppers and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until soft. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Stir the soy sauce mixture again to ensure the cornstarch isn't stuck to the bottom of the bowl and add the mixture to the pan. Simmer for 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Top with sesame seeds and serve.
