Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
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.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on a separate pan or in a toaster until golden brown.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
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.
Serve the Ginger Chicken Burgers hot, with your favorite sides like fries or a salad.
