 Cut eight 8 inch squares of parchment paper.

 INGREDIENTS

 Cut chicken into thin, narrow strips, about 3 inches long.  Combine
 soy sauce, ginger juice and sugar in large bowl; stir in chicken, let
 stand 30 minutes.

 Meanwhile, pour boiling water over bean sprouts; let stand one minute.
 Drain; cool under cold water and drain well.

 Thoroughly toss chicken mixture with bean sprouts, green onions and
 walnuts.

 Place about 1/2 cupful of chicken mixture in center of each parchment
 square.  Fold bottom point of parchment over filling; crease just
 below filling and fold point over and under filling.  Fold side
 points over filling, overlapping slightly.  Crease paper to hold
 folds.  Fold remaining corner down so point extends below bottom of
 bundle; tuck this point between folded sides.  Crease paper to hold
 folds.  Repeat with remaining parchment squares. (Ends up looking
 like small envelope, with flap tucked under bundle)

 Place bundles seam side down, in single layer on steamer rack.  Set
 rack in large pot or wok of boiling water.  (Do not let water level
 reach the bundles)  Cover and steam about 7 minutes or until chicken
 is tender. Serve immediately

 *Peel fresh ginger root, then squeeze through garlic press.
