  • Preheat a deep fryer with canola oil until a deep-frying thermometer inserted into the oil reaches 350 degrees F.
  • Beat the milk and eggs together for an egg wash. Dust the chicken in the seasoned flour, then dip in the egg wash and coat with the panko. Deep fry until golden brown and warm on the inside. Keep the oil hot for later use.
  • For the aioli: Put the Sriracha, fish sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, vinegar, yuzu kosho, yuzo and garlic in a blender. Blend while slowly adding the canola oil until thick. Transfer to a squirt bottle.
  • For the slaw: Place the carrots, cabbage and scallions in a bowl along with the peanuts. Marinate with the fish sauce, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, yuzu juice and yuzu kosho.
  • For the chips: Peel and cut the potatoes using a mandoline into gaufrettes. Soak in cold water. Fry the potatoes golden brown, and then season with kosher salt.

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons thinly sliced pickled ginger
3 cups napa cabbage, finely shredded
1/4 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

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.
