Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or pan over medium heat.

Add chopped garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Sauté for 30 seconds until aromatic.

Add onions and capsicum, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.

Stir in soy sauce, chili sauce, tomato ketchup, vinegar, and sugar. Mix well.

Add the cornflour slurry and let the sauce thicken, stirring continuously.

Step 5: Combining broccoli and sauce

Add the fried broccoli to the sauce. Toss well to coat the broccoli evenly.

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
