6.Whisk cornflour mixture again, then stir into frying pan. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook until sauce begins to bubble. Add chicken, stirring to coat. Continue cooking for 1 minute or until sauce thickens. Remove pan from heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon spring onion and sesame oil.
7.Top with sesame seeds and the remaining spring onion.
