2stalkslemongrass - peeled & minced (roughly 1/4 cup minced)
½teaspoonsalt
1-2tablespoonscanola oil - for frying
For the toppings:
4mediumhamburger buns
1mediumred onion - sliced
½mediumavocado - sliced
1small bunchcilantro (coriander) - fresh
2tablespoonsSriracha - divided
Instructions
Heat a tablespoon or two of canola oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
With clean hands, mix the burger ingredients, then divide it into fourths. Shape the ground chicken into patties about 4-5″ in diameter and then put them in the hot skillet. Let the patties cook for 6-8 minutes or until that side is browned. Then flip over and cook for another 6-8 minutes until that side is also browned. There should be no pink inside the burger.
When they’re done cooking, put them on a plate lined with a paper towel. Put the burgers in burger buns and top with red onion, avocado, fresh cilantro, and sriracha sauce.
For the lemongrass: cut off the root end and the stem end. Peel off a couple of outer layers until you get to a nice smooth core. Smash the core a few times with a rolling pin, then mince it up.
