Method
-
Step 1: Make the Teriyaki Sauce
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Whisk until honey is fully dissolved in the mixture.
-
Step 2: Prepare Chicken Patties
In another mixing bowl, combine the chicken mince, chopped spring onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, ensuring not to overwork the mixture. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape into patties.
Ensure the patties are not too thick, as they need to cook through evenly. -
Step 3: Marinate Patties
Add half of the teriyaki sauce to the chicken patties, ensuring an even coat. Allow to marinate briefly while you prepare the slaw.
-
Step 4: Prepare the Cabbage Slaw
In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage and julienned carrot. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, rice vinegar, and sesame seeds until smooth. Drizzle dressing over slaw mix, toss to combine, and set aside.
Ensure that the vegetables are well coated in the dressing. -
Step 5: Cook the Chicken Patties
Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add a splash of oil, and once hot, add the marinated chicken patties. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C and the patties are golden brown. Brush with more teriyaki sauce in the last minute of cooking.
Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking. Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer. -
Step 6: Toast the Burger Buns
In the same frying pan after removing the patties, lightly toast the burger buns on the inside for 1-2 minutes until golden.
Keep an eye on the buns to prevent burning. -
Step 7: Assemble the Burgers
On each toasted bun base, place a chicken patty followed by a generous portion of the cabbage slaw. Top with fresh coriander and cover with the bun top.
-
Step 8: Serve
Plate the assembled burgers and serve immediately while hot. You may drizzle additional teriyaki sauce on top if desired.
Enjoy while warm for the best experience!
Tips
- Substitute chicken mince with turkey mince for a lighter option.
