How to Make Asian Chicken Burgers

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1-2 finely chopped chili peppers for 2-3 minutes. Add 1 cup sliced mushrooms during the last minute of cooking.
2. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
3. In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground chicken, the cooled onion mixture, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional). If your ground chicken is dry, add 1 large egg and 1/4 cup breadcrumbs. Gently mix until just combined. Shape the mixture into 4-6 patties.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken burgers for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and browned.
5. Serve the burgers on toasted buns with lettuce, 1/2 cup stir-fried bean sprouts, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and a dollop of sour cream. Garnish with extra sesame seeds if desired.
