Ingredients

1 tablespoon Oil
4 Dry Red Chili whole
2 tablespoon Garlic freshly minced
1 cup Yellow Onions sliced
1 cup Bell Pepper mixed colors, cut into 1" squares
3 tablespoon Red chili paste or Schezwan chutney, adjust to taste
1 teaspoon Soy sauce

1 lb Baby Potatoes boiled, If larger than an inch cut in half
3 Scallions or Green onions chopped, divided
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
⅓ cup Water

Method

- 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.
