Steps:
- For the spicy lemongrass mayo:.
- Mix together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, lime zest and juice and lemongrass in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- For the Asian chicken burger:.
- Combine the chicken, hoisin, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic and scallions in a large bowl. Mix together and form into 4 equal patties about 1/2-inch thick and 4 inches wide. This patty will be a bit wetter than your average patty because of the sauces and flavor in there. Sprinkle each side of the patties generously with salt and pepper. Create a small well in the center of each patty, using your thumb.
- Cook your patties on the griddle over medium heat until golden brown on each side and 160 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Because of the sugar content in these patties, they can burn easily so watch your heat. Let rest 5 minutes. Place your buns on the griddle and toast them.
- For the slaw:.
- Add the rice wine vinegar to a mixing bowl and whisk in the sesame oil and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Add the ginger, cabbage and peppers and toss to coat with the dressing. Adjust the seasoning and let sit 20 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.
- For assembling:.
- Place some of the spicy lemongrass mayo on each side of the buns. Add the chicken patties and top with the Pickled Asian Slaw. Finish with the top bun and serve with additional slaw and mayo on the side.

The Ingredients Significance
Hamburger Buns
The hamburger buns provide the base for the burger. It is important to select a sturdy bun that can accommodate the ingredients without getting soggy.Chicken Breast Fillets
The chicken breast fills are the source of protein in the burger. Chicken is a lean source of protein, making it an ideal choice compared to beef, which contains more fat.Red Curry Paste and Vegetable Oil
The red curry paste and vegetable oil are used to marinate the chicken, giving it an oriental taste. Curry paste is an excellent source of anti-inflammatory properties, antioxidants, and vitamins.Napa and Purple Cabbage and Carrot
The Napa and purple cabbages, together with the julienned carrot, form the pickled Asian slaw. Cabbage is a source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, while carrots contain vitamin A, which is essential for good eyesight.Rice Wine Vinegar and Sugar
The rice wine vinegar and sugar act as the pickling agent, helping to preserve the cabbage and carrot. Rice wine vinegar also contains acetic acid, which is beneficial for digestion.Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise is used to make the spicy lemongrass mayo, providing creaminess and flavor to the burger.Lemongrass, Garlic, Ginger, Sriracha, and Soy Sauce
The lemongrass, garlic, ginger, sriracha, and soy sauce are ingredients used to make the spicy lemongrass mayo. The lemongrass provides an earthy, citrus taste and also has anti-inflammatory properties, while ginger and garlic are rich in antioxidants that help to boost the immune system. Sriracha is a popular condiment in Southeast Asian cuisine, adding a flavorful kick to food.The Process
- In a bowl, mix the red curry paste and vegetable oil. Add the chicken fillets and coat well with the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least two hours.
- Preheat a grill pan on medium-high heat. Grill the chicken fillets for about six minutes each side or until they are cooked through.
- In a separate bowl, mix the rice wine vinegar and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Add the Napa and purple cabbages and the julienned carrot. Stir well and let sit for about 30 minutes.
- In another bowl, mix the mayonnaise, chopped lemongrass, minced garlic, grated ginger, sriracha sauce, and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toast the hamburger buns and spread a generous amount of the spicy lemongrass mayo on both sides of the bun.
- Add the grilled chicken breast fillets to the burger buns.
- Top the chicken fillets with the pickled Asian slaw mix.
