Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground chicken
• 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 2 stalks (finely chopped) Green onions
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 50 grams Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 large (sliced) Tomato
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until well combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the burgers tough.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, roughly 1 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.

Step 4

Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat.

Step 5

Cook the burger patties for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Avoid pressing the patties down with a spatula as this can make them dry.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on a separate pan or in a toaster until golden brown.

Step 7

Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun.

Step 8

Place a lettuce leaf on top of the mayonnaise, followed by a slice of tomato and the cooked chicken patty. Cover with the top half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve the Ginger Chicken Burgers hot, with your favorite sides like fries or a salad.
