Heat oil in a wok or pan on high heat. Add dried red chili, garlic and onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions become transparent and start to lightly brown.
Add bell peppers and saute for another minute.
Add soy sauce, vinegar, red chili paste, salt and stir well. Add the boiled potatoes and sauté for 4-5 mins. Stir frequently and scrape off from the bottom of the pan.
Mix the cornflour in the water until it forms a smooth texture. Add it in to the potatoes along with half of the green onions (add the white portion of the chopped onions here).
Stir well until they combine and the cornflour is cooked for about 2 minutes. Turn off heat. Stir in the honey if using.
Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve immediately.
Notes
Boiling Potatoes: Here is the recipe to steam baby potatoes in the instant pot. You can also steam them in a stovetop pressure cooker or in a pot. Peeling potatoes: Peeling potatoes is not required. I do that for this recipe, but even unpeeled potatoes would work well. Frying the potatoes: I do not fry the potatoes. If you want to fry them, and make them crispy. Par boil the potatoes. then fry till they are crunchy. Then you need not saute them much after adding to the sauces. Red Chili paste: I used Sambal Olek red chili paste. Another one that I love is Ching’s Secret Schezwan Chutney (not the schezwan sauce), which you can find at Indian grocery stores. The schezwan sauce has garlic in addition to chili paste, but it works well in this recipe. As always, adjust chili to taste.Sesame seeds: You can use either black or white sesame seeds. Make in the instant pot: I have made this recipe on the stovetop in a wok and the instant pot on sauté mode. Both worked well.
