1. Put the chicken mince, onion, breadcrumbs, garlic, lemon grass, coriander, lime zest, fish sauce and sugar in a large bowl and mix together well with your hands. Shape into six patties, then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2. For the slaw: mix together the sugar and rice vinegar, then add the carrot and leave to marinate for 20 minutes.

3. For the dressing: mix together all the ingredients, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
