In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, dark soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, and red chili flakes. Mix thoroughly to form the marinade.
Place the pork neck in the bowl, ensuring it is fully coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to let the flavors infuse.
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F).
Transfer the marinated pork neck along with the marinade into a baking dish. Add 60 ml of water to the dish to prevent the marinade from burning during cooking.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 90 minutes, basting the pork with the marinade every 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and turn the oven up to 200°C (390°F). Continue to bake for another 20-30 minutes, basting frequently, until the pork becomes sticky and caramelized.
Once done, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped spring onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables.
