Sriracha Lime Mayo:

Burger Patties:

- 6 cloves garlic, minced

Directions
For the rainbow sesame slaw: Combine the jicama, bell peppers, snow peas, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, soy sauce and sugar in a medium mixing bowl, tossing to combine. Set aside.
For the Sriracha lime mayo: Combine the mayonnaise, Sriracha, lime zest and juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
For the burger patties: Combine the chicken, scallions, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, lemongrass and garlic, gently mixing to incorporate. Divide the mixture into 6 patties and set aside. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat, and brush with the vegetable oil. Place the patties on the grill and cook, turning once until done, 6 to 8 minutes per side. During the last few minutes of cooking, baste each burger with 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce.
To assemble, spread about 1 tablespoon of the Sriracha lime mayo on each bun bottom and top. Place the patties on the bun bottoms, top with about 1/3 cup of the slaw, add the bun top and enjoy! These burgers are great served with sweet potato fries or sweet potato chips.

We loved this! A wonderful recipe to tweak to individual liking. I decreased the sugar because we prefer less sweetness in savory things.
Also decreased the sriracha sauce by 1/2 in the lime mayo and found it to be just right for us. GRATED the lemongrass as per instruction I found elsewhere online. We loved the lemongrass flavor in this.
For simplicity, used just red pepper shaved on a mandolin for slaw. But will add the Jicama also next time. Delicious.

Used 1# chicken & halved the remaining ingredients to make 3 patties. Skipped the lemongrass -- my daughter dislikes it -- and cooked them on a griddle in a tiny bit of grapeseed oil. They were terrific. Be careful not to overcook them, as the chicken dries out quickly. I used the Broccoli Slaw mix from Trader Joe's with great results: it maintained its crispness and was delicious on the burgers. I could see adding a splash of teriyaki to the mayo to tone the spice down a bit for kidlets. All in all, a great burger.

After eating this, I don't think I will ever want a regular hamburger again. This was fantastic. I used regular Asian slaw mix (find at Walmart and lemongrass that came in a tube (found in the produce dept( also at walmart It isn't too spicy.. just perfect! If you are doing these on the grill, start it out on a grill plate that you would use for fish until it holds together well.
