Slice a white or yellow onion into long strands about a quarter inch thick.

Slice a large red bell pepper into quarter inch strips.

Optional: Slice 2-3 small jalapenos for spice, or use other peppers like serrano or habanero.

Take 1-2 pounds of napa cabbage, chop off the bottom, and tear off the green parts by hand, discarding the hard stalks.

Add a quarter cup of chili oil to the Instant Pot and set to sauté on high.

After about 3 minutes, add the sliced onions and peppers to the pot and sauté for 3-5 minutes until slightly softened.

Remove the sautéed veggies with a slotted spoon and set aside in a bowl.

Add 2 more tablespoons of chili oil to the pot and heat for about a minute.

Add 5-10 ounces of sliced shiitake mushrooms and the torn napa cabbage to the pot, stirring for 2-3 minutes until the cabbage wilts and mushrooms absorb the oil.

Add 2 tablespoons of sherry wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Add 3 cloves (or 1 tablespoon) of crushed or minced garlic and stir everything together.
