Curried Chicken Squares
Ingredients:
18 slices soft white bread
1 (5-ounce) can chunk white chicken (or 3/4 cup minced cooked chicken)
1/4 cup roasted shelled Virginia type peanuts
1/4 cup minced green onion
1/8 teaspoon 5-spice powder (or Allspice)
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon sugar
Dash pepper
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 egg yolk, slightly beaten
Oil for frying
Directions:
- 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.
- In deep fryer, heat oil. Fry 3 or 4 chicken squares 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. Makes about 36.
