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

Mayo:

Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Mix the mayo: In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, chile-garlic paste, and honey. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- 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!
