- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1½ cups chicken broth

- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp brown sugar

Instructions
- In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Add the remaining oil to the same skillet. Add the onion, bell pepper, and broccoli. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
- Add the garlic and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, and paprika. Cook for another 30 seconds to release the spices.
- Pour in the chicken broth, coconut milk, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Stir well.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
- Simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the flavors come together.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Serve hot over steamed jasmine rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
For a spicier curry, add extra red pepper flakes or a little chili garlic sauce. You can also add carrots, mushrooms, or snow peas for extra vegetables.
