The Fastest Stir Fried Chicken Recipe We Ever Made Generally, stir frying takes just a few minutes to cook food, but to chop all the fresh ingredients would seem forever. The preparation process of the ingredients takes longer than the actual cooking, because you have to prepare the food into bite sizes pieces. The technique of preparing all the ingredients in advance is a significant step in stir frying to enjoy a perfect stir fry. When you start frying, you will never have the time of preparing your ingredients anymore since the frying takes only a few minutes and it is done. Here is a stir fried chicken recipe that we like to prepare specially on busy weekday nights when everyone is tired to make that long kitchen cooking. It is very easy and simple and only uses very few ingredients to prepare. This is a chicken stir fry that only uses two ingredients. Here we use Mirin, a sweet rice cooking wine to blend the two ingredients, chicken and scallions.
