Yield: 16 wrapping packets
1 Chicken breast; whole
1 teaspoon Dark soy sauce
One half teaspoon Sherry
1 tablespoon Green onion;minced
1 teaspoon Ginger root;fresh;minced
One half teaspoon Sesame oil
5 ds Hot sauce
One half teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Cornstarch
One fourth teaspoon Garlic juice
1 tablespoon Chinese parsley;minced
(cilentro)
4 cup Oil
Cooking parchment

PREPARATION: Partially freeze chicken breast and slice it paper thin,
across the grain, into narrow strips.
Marinate chicken in the rest of the ingredients for several hours or
overnight. Cut cooking parchment into 4 inch squares. WRAPPING: Position
parchment with corners at top, bottom, left and right. Drop about 1 tbsp.
of filling on lower corner of parchment. Tuck lower corner under filling
and fold parchment about One half way up. Fold left and right corners toward
center, flatten filling and fold parchment paper once toward top corner.
Tuck in top corner. COOKING: Heat oil in wok. Drop wrapped chicken in oil
and fry for 1 One half to 2 minutes at the most. Drain on paper towel and serve
hot. DOAHEAD NOTES: Deep fry, cool and freeze. To reheat, preheat oven at
350 degrees. Heat frozen packets for 78 minutes. COMMENTS: Foil may be
substituted if parchment paper is unavailable. You may also use cellophane
paper, and that's quite pretty as the filling shows through clearly. The
advantage of using the parchment paper is that the chicken pieces will not
stick to the wrapper. If you prefer to serve fresh, wrap the filling
several hours ahead and deepfry at the last minute. Source: "Dim Sum" by
