Steps:

• Saute onion, garlic, and chili about 2 minutes. Turn Instant Pot off.
• Add chicken, potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms and pour sauce over. Seal Instant Pot and set on Poultry for 12 minutes (10 if boneless).
• Soak the noodles.
• Quick release. Remove meat and veggies to serving dish.
• Turn on Saute and add noodles. Boil 2 minutes.
• Pour noodles and sauce over meat. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with rice.

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, cooking wine, brown sugar, garlic, sesame oil, black pepper, and ginger for sauce in a bowl; set aside.
• Bring a large pot with salted water to a boil. Add chicken thighs to the boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat, drain water, and set chicken aside.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs, skin-side down, in the melted butter. Pour reserved sauce and 2 1/2 cups water over top. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat slightly once it starts boiling, remove lid, and flip chicken. Allow to cook for 15 minutes, turning chicken again halfway through.
• Meanwhile, soak cellophane noodles in a bowl of hot water for 10 minutes. Strain and set noodles aside.
• Add potato, onion, carrots, and chile pepper to the skillet. Cook until all ingredients are almost cooked through, about 10 minutes, stirring everything after 5 minutes and flipping chicken again. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until sauce has desired consistency, 5 to 15 minutes. Keep stirring the sauce and turning the chicken every 2 minutes so it doesn't burn. At the final flip, make sure the chicken is skin-side up.
• Once sauce is almost the desired consistency, mix in drained noodles and green onion. Make sure the chicken is on top of all the ingredients. Cook for 3 more minutes and then turn off the heat. Mix once more and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
