In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, vegetable stock, sugar, and cornstarch slurry.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add garlic, ginger, and onion, and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets and mushrooms (and bell peppers if using). Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and the vegetables are evenly glazed.
Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped spring onions.
