Chicken Patties With Ginger and Sesame Seeds

This is a recipe from one of Madhur Jaffrey's books. I was looking for a different way to get my husband to eat lean meats and this worked (even though he did still put it on a bun). I served it with rice and Korean dipping sauce and it was yummy--no leftovers and even the kids ate some!!!!!

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 6
• Yields: 1 pattie

Ingredients

• 2  scallions
• 1  large garlic clove
• 1  inch  cube fresh ginger
• 1  lb ground chicken
• 1  tablespoon roasted sesame seeds
• 1  tablespoon  sesame oil
• 1  tablespoon soy sauce
•  fresh ground black pepper
• 1⁄4-1⁄2 teaspoon chili powder
•  oil (for frying)

Directions

1. Cut the scallions crosswise into thin rounds, including some of the green. Peel and mince the garlic and finely grate the ginger.
2. Put the chicken in a bowl and mix with the scallion, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds, sesame oil, soy sauce, pepper, and chili powder.
3. Shape the mixture into 6 patties.
4. Lightly oil a non-stick frying pan and cook until done, turning once. Recipe states these can also be grilled.
5. Serve with Korean dipping sauce.
6. NOTE: My patties were a bit soft so I did add a small amount of bread crumbs to help them hold their shape.
