Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken or turkey
- 1 cup Fresh Thai basil leaves (roughly chopped)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced finely)
- 2 pieces Red chili (finely chopped, adjust heat level)
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 4 pieces Burger buns (toasted)
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 12 pieces Cucumber slices
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 piece Fresh lime (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken or turkey, chopped Thai basil leaves, minced garlic, chopped red chili, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, a teaspoon of sugar, and a pinch of cracked black pepper. Mix everything well until evenly combined.
Form the mixture into four equal patties, about 1.5cm thick, and set aside on a plate.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and a teaspoon of sugar to make your burger glaze. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, brushing them with the glaze during the last minute of cooking on each side. Ensure the patties are cooked through with an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
While the patties are cooking, fry the eggs sunny-side up in a separate non-stick frying pan. The yolk should remain slightly runny for added richness.
Toast the burger buns in a toaster or on the pan until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise onto the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf and 3 cucumber slices. Place the cooked patty on top, followed by a fried egg. Add a squeeze of fresh lime if desired. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with a side of fries or a refreshing salad.
