Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, garlic, ginger, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs. Mix just until combined.
Form into 4 patties.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through (internal temp: 165°F).
While patties cook, toss together cabbage, carrots, vinegar, sesame oil, and salt in a small bowl to make the slaw.
In another small bowl, whisk together all dumpling sauce ingredients.
Lightly toast burger buns, if desired.
Assemble burgers: Place chicken patty on the bottom bun, top with slaw and a drizzle of dumpling sauce. Add more green onions or herbs if you like.
Top with bun and serve warm.

Notes

Make it spicy by adding Sriracha or chili oil to the sauce.
These patties also work great in lettuce wraps or rice bowls.

Swap chicken for ground turkey or pork if preferred.
