Steps:

Put the ground chicken, onion, breadcrumbs, garlic, lemon grass, coriander, lime zest, fish sauce and sugar in a large bowl and mix together well with your hands.
Shape into six patties, then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
For the slaw: mix together the sugar and rice vinegar, then add the carrot and leave to marinate for 20 minutes.
For the dressing: mix together all the ingredients, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
Heat a barbecue or grill pan and brush with a little oil. Cook the patties for 4 minutes each side or until cooked through.
While the patties are cooking, put the white and red cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Drain the carrot and add to the cabbage with the celery, onion, mint and coriander.
Add the dressing to the salad and toss together.
Serve the patties on soft rolls with lettuce, mint and coriander leaves and chilli sauce together with a helping of slaw.
