List of Ingredients

18 slices soft white bread
3 tablespoons soft bread crumbs
1 5-ounce can chunk white chicken
OR
3/4 cup minced cooked chicken
1/4 cup roasted shelled peanuts
1/4 cup minced green onion
1/8 teaspoon 5-spice powder
OR
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 Dash pepper
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 egg yolk, slightly beaten


Recipe

Remove crusts from bread; cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap to keep soft.

Make crumbs from crusts by putting a few at a time into a blender. Combine 3 tablespoons bread crumbs with chicken, peanuts, green onion, 5-spice powder, curry powder, sugar, pepper, soy sauce, and parsley; mix well.

Roll bread slices very thin with a rolling pin. Cut each square in half, place a teaspoon of chicken mixture on each piece. Brush edges of bread with egg yolk; fold in half to form a square. Pinch to seal, trimming if necessary.

Cook in deep fryer 3 or 4 at a time, turning once until desired browness is reached (about 2 minutes).

Remove from oil and drain on absorbent paper. Repeat until all squares are cooked. May be served with mustard sauce.
