Take a small bowl and add all the ingredients for the sauce: tomato ketchup, dark soy sauce, honey, white sugar, white vinegar, and water. Mix and set aside, ensuring the sugar is dissolved.
Heat oil in a pan or wok for deep frying.
Drop in the battered chicken pieces one at a time to avoid crowding. Fry on medium heat for around 5-6 minutes until golden. Remove and keep on a plate. Fry remaining in batches.
Take a wok and heat it. Add the sauce mixture, stir on medium heat for 2 minutes until it starts thickening.
Add the corn slurry, cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the fried chicken pieces.
Add sesame oil, stir fry on high heat for 2 minutes until chicken is coated with the sauce.
Once nearly thickened, add sesame seeds, mix, then add chopped spring onion greens. Stir fry for 1 minute and serve hot.
