Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes.
Stir in the soy sauce, chili sauce, and tomato ketchup.
Pour in the water or chicken stock and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir the cornflour slurry again, then add it gradually while stirring until the sauce thickens.
Add the fried chicken and toss until evenly coated. Simmer for 1–2 minutes.
Garnish with chopped spring onions and serve immediately.
