Ingredients
- 4 Small Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs 125g Each
- 30 g Ginger 1 Thumb Sized Piece
- 1 tablespoon Rice Wine
- 1 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
- ½ teaspoon Sugar
- Pinch of MSG
- 6 tablespoon Cornflour 65-70g (Cornstarch in the US)
For the Gochujang Mayonnaise
- 50 g Mayonnaise 3 tablespoon
- 20 g Tomato Ketchup 1 tablespoon
- 25 g Gochujang 1 Tbsp
- 10 g Runny Honey ½ tablespoon
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
For the Burger:
- 2 Soft White Bread Rolls
- Iceberg Lettuce
- 100 g Kimchi ½ Cup
Instructions
- Peel the ginger, grate it and place it in a bowl (large enough to hold the chicken) with the rice wine, soy sauce, sugar and a pinch of MSG and mix well.
- Bash the chicken thighs with a meat mallet or rolling pin to get them to an even thickness (around 1cm or ½").
- Add the chicken thighs to the ginger mix and toss to coat, then transfer to the fridge to chill for up to 2 hours. You can cook them immediately if you wish, but the flavours will not develop as much.
- Mix the ingredients for the gochujang mayonnaise in a bowl and set aside.
- Shred the lettuce.
- Drain the kimchi.
- Slice the burger buns.
- Heat 1cm of oil in a wide-based frying pan or skillet large enough to hold the chicken thighs to 180°C or 350°F.
- Dredge the chicken in the cornflour and then fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, ensuring that the chicken reaches 73°C or 165°F before serving. Then transfer to kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.
- Build your burger, I start with a layer of lettuce followed by kimchi, then one chicken thigh, more kimchi and finally the spicy mayonnaise.
