ingredients

For the Slaw

  • 1 medium cabbage, shredded
  • 2 medium carrots, julienned
  • 1 daikon radish, julienned
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons japanese mayo
  • Kosher salt, to taste

Method

  • Step 1

    Prepare the marinade by mixing together the dark and low sodium soy sauces, gochujang, honey, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and Sriracha Ketchup in a bowl. Stir in the sesame seeds and green onion.

  • Step 2

    Marinate the chicken thighs in this mixture for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, ensuring they are fully coated.

  • Step 3

    For the slaw, combine shredded cabbage, julienned carrots, and daikon in a bowl. Season with soy sauce, rice vinegar, Kewpie mayo, salt, and white pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.

  • Step 4

    Preheat the grill and cook the marinated chicken thighs until thoroughly cooked, basting occasionally with the remaining marinade.

  • Step 5

    To assemble the burgers, spread Kewpie mayo on the brioche buns. Add a grilled chicken thigh to each bun, followed by a liberal application of Sriracha Ketchup. Top with the prepared slaw and optional toppings like kimchi, sesame seeds, and green onions.

  • Step 6

    Finish with the top bun and serve hot.
