-(cilentro)
4 cupOil
Cooking parchment
Procedures:
1Preparation: partially freeze chicken breast and slice it paper thin, across the grain, into narrow strips.
2Marinate chicken in the rest of the ingredients for several hours or overnight.
3Cut cooking parchment into 4 inch squares.
4Wrapping: position parchment with corners at top, bottom, left and right.
5Drop about 1 tbsp. of filling on lower corner of parchment.
6Tuck lower corner under filling and fold parchment about ?way up.
7Fold left and right corners toward center, flatten filling and fold parchment paper once toward top corner.
8Tuck in top corner.
9Cooking: heat oil in wok.
10Drop wrapped chicken in oil and fry for 1 ?to 2 minutes at the most.
11Drain on paper towel and serve hot.
12Do-ahead notes: deep fry, cool and freeze.
13To reheat, preheat oven at 350 degrees.
14Heat frozen packets for 7-8 minutes.
15Comments: foil may be substituted if parchment paper is unavailable.
16You may also use cellophane paper, and that"s quite pretty as the filling shows through clearly.
17The advantage of using the parchment paper is that the chicken pieces will not stick to the wrapper.
18If you prefer to serve fresh, wrap the filling several hours ahead and deep-fry at the last minute.
