Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, the bell peppers and the asparagus and cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are fragrant and still firm, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broccoli stems and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to soften and become translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a medium bowl and set aside.
- Put the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, half of the scallions (about 1/2 cup) and the ginger in the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the ginger is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but doesn't burn, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking up the chicken into chunks with a wooden spoon while stirring continuously, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Whisk the chicken stock, tamari, sesame oil, agave, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth. Add the mixture to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked vegetables and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the remaining chopped scallions (about 1/2 cup) and the sesame seeds. Serve over steamed rice or grains.
