2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Directions:
Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables
