listed under "marinade," mix well and then add the
green onions and ginger. Marinate for 2 hours.
3. See diagrams for wrapping.
4. Heat the oil to 325 degrees and then carefully put
each package into the oil. Deep-fry 4 minutes on each
side. Put packages in a strainer to drain off excess
oil before serving.

degrees) for 10 minutes just before serving. 1. Brush
center of the paper with oil, and with one corner of
the paper toward you, place 1 piece of chicken and 1
sliver of green onion about 2" from that corner.
2. Fold the corner to just cover the chicken.
3. Fold once more...about 1 1/4," and tuck second edge
under meat (This forms a triangle.)
4. Make an envelope by folding the left and right
corners toward the middle.
5. Tuck in the flap to close the envelope.
