1 tbl Soy sauce
1/2 tsp Minced fresh ginger
1/2 tsp Minced fresh garlic

2 tbl Bread crumbs - (to 4 tbspns)

Method :
In a mixing bowl combine the ground chicken, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and
sesame oil. Season with salt and pepper.
With a vegetable peeler cut the cucumber vertically into long curly strips,
avoiding and discarding the seeds. Cut the carrot, again using the vegetable
peeler, into strips. Combine the cucumber and the carrot in a bowl.
Heat the oil in a 9-inch nonstick skillet. Shape chicken mixture into 2 patties,
each about 3/4-inch thick. Cook for about 5 to 6 minutes a side or until golden
brown and cooked through. (At this point make the mayonnaise.)
Set each burger on a toasted bun, spread with Asian Mayonnaise and top with the
carrot and cucumber.
