Ingredients

• Ground chicken - 250 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
• Chili paste - 1 tablespoon
• Soy sauce (gluten-free) - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2, finely chopped
• Gluten-free burger buns - 2
• Cucumber - 1/2, sliced

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine ground chicken, minced garlic, grated ginger, chili paste, gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, and chopped green onions. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the mixture into two equal patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
