3. Once the chicken gets almost cooked toss in the bell peppers,broccoli and sweet corn.Saute it for 1 minute or 2.I like a bit crunch in my veggies.Thus i don't blanch it.But if you are more into a softer texture then you might as well blanch them before adding it in the pan.

Tips:-

1. To make it more colorful you can toss in red cabbage or any vegetable of your choice.
2. When you toast the sesame seeds make sure to keep a check over the heat because once it turns golden it takes only few seconds to burn and turn into dark brown.If turned it becomes bitter in taste and will be of no use.
