Heat the vegetable oil in a wok. Sauté the chicken strips until they're fully cooked (the pinkish colouring has gone). Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same wok, sauté the carrot slices for 1 - 2 minutes; add the peppers and snow peas and cook for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms. Add the cooked chicken to the vegetables. Mix the chicken stock, soya sauce, mirin, sugar and ginger in a small bowl. Pour over the chicken and vegetables and continue cooking for 1 minute, or until the sauce comes to a boil. Dissolve the cornstarch in cold water and pour into the wok. Cook for a few minutes, mix well to coat all the ingredients and get a velvety sauce. Before serving, sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
