A fusion burger featuring succulent teriyaki-glazed chicken, creamy avocado-basil sauce, and a fried egg, served with crispy golden fries for a flavor-packed meal.

Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken leg meat
• 2 units burger buns
• 1 unit avocado
• 1 bunch fresh basil
• 50 g walnuts
• 1 tbsp black sesame seeds
• 2 slices cheese
• 1 unit egg
• 1/2 unit cucumber
• 2 units pickles
• 1 unit tomato
• 2 leaves lettuce
• 50 ml teriyaki sauce
• 30 ml sweet white wine
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• to taste olive oil
• to taste salt
• to taste black pepper
• 300 g potato strips

Instructions

1. 1Prepare the avocado basil sauce

   

   In a blender, combine the avocado flesh, fresh basil leaves, roasted walnut pieces, black sesame seeds, olive oil, and a teaspoon of salt. Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.

   Tip: Ensure the avocado is ripe for the best texture and creaminess in your sauce.
2. 2Slice the burger bun

   

   Take a fresh handmade burger bun and carefully slice it horizontally into two even halves using a bread knife.

   Tip: Use a serrated knife to get a clean slice without crushing the soft bun.
3. 3Apply the sauce

   

   Using a knife or spatula, evenly spread the prepared homemade avocado basil sauce onto the cut sides of both bun halves.

   Tip: Spreading the sauce on both halves helps keep the bun moist and adds flavor throughout the burger.
4. 4Sear the chicken

   

   Heat a small amount of butter in a pan over medium heat. Once melted, add the marinated chicken leg meat to the pan to begin cooking.

   Tip: Make sure the pan is hot before adding the chicken to get a nice golden sear.
5. 5Simmer the chicken

   

   Pour the teriyaki sauce and sweet white wine over the chicken in the pan. Cover and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes to allow the sauce to reduce and glaze the chicken.

   Tip: The wine adds a nice depth of flavor and helps tenderize the chicken while the sauce reduces.
6. 6Season the chicken

   

   Once the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has reduced, sprinkle the chicken with freshly ground black pepper to enhance the savory notes.

   Tip: Freshly cracked pepper provides a much more aromatic and vibrant taste than pre-ground pepper.
7. 7Assemble the chicken

   

   Place the cooked teriyaki chicken pieces onto the bottom half of the prepared burger bun. Ensure the chicken is centered to build a stable base for the remaining toppings.

   Tip: Make sure the chicken is slightly warm to help the cheese melt slightly when added in the next step.
8. 8Layer the toppings

   

   Carefully stack the slice of cheese, fresh cucumber slices, pickles, a fried egg, and tomato slices onto the cooked chicken. This creates a vibrant, multi-textured burger.

   Tip: Place the cheese directly on the warm chicken to allow it to soften slightly for better texture.
