The Sweet and Sour Chicken Burger combines the vibrant flavors of sweet and tangy sauce with a juicy chicken patty, all nestled in a soft bun. This unique dish offers a delightful twist on traditional burgers, inspired by Chinese cuisine.

Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 250 grams
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Ginger powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cornstarch - 2 tablespoons
• Egg - 1 large
• Breadcrumbs - 1/2 cup
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons (for frying)
• Burger buns - 2
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, finely chop the chicken breast and season it with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and ginger powder.
2. Add cornstarch and egg to the chicken mixture and mix until well combined.
3. Form the chicken mixture into 2 equal-sized patties.
4. Coat each patty in breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat and cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

7. Once the patties are done, assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the chicken patty, tomato slices, cucumber slices, and a generous drizzle of sweet and sour sauce.
