In the same pan, add 1 tbsp of white oil, chopped onions, and garlic; cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly brown.

Add the white part of the spring onion and cook for another minute.

Add the marinade to the pan and bring to a boil.

Add the browned chicken pieces to the boiling marinade, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally.

Remove chicken pieces and set aside.

Add corn flour slurry to the marinade and cook on high flame for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.

Adjust seasoning if needed, then pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with spring onion greens.
