Ingredients:

Patties:

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon chile-garlic paste, like sambal
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated garlic
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil

Slaw:

• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil or vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 small head napa cabbage, finely shredded
• 1/4 cup very thinly sliced red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup very thinly sliced mango
• 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves
• 1 tablespoon chopped mint leaves
• 1 tablespoon thinly sliced scallions (white part only)

Mayo:

• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon chile-garlic paste, such as sambal
• 1/2 teaspoon honey
• 4 potato rolls, for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the patties: In a medium bowl, mix together the ground chicken, fish sauce, soy sauce, chile-garlic paste, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, cilantro, and mint. Using your hands, gently but thoroughly combine and shape into 4 equal patties.
2. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties until golden brown and the internal temperature hits 165F, about 5 minutes per side.
3. Make the slaw: While the patties cook, whisk lime juice, avocado oil, rice vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss in the shredded cabbage, bell pepper, mango, cilantro, mint, and scallions until well-coated. Adjust salt as needed. Set aside.
4. Mix the mayo: In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, chile-garlic paste, and honey. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
5. To serve, spread the flavored mayo on the rolls. Place the cooked patties on the rolls, then top with the fresh mango slaw. Serve immediately and dive into flavor paradise!
