Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 large onion diced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 large carrot peeled and chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomato halved
- 2 cups vegan chicken strips
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ cup tamari
- 3 tbsp rice vinegar
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup soy yoghurt
- ½ cup cilantro chopped
- ¼ cup spring onion chopped
- ½ cup cucumber diced
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp salt
- 4 burger buns to serve
- ½ cup lettuce chopped (to serve)
- 1 large avocado mashed
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan and add the garlic, onion, paprika and cumin. Cook for 2-3 minutes over a medium-high heat, until softened. Now add the carrots and tomatoes, cooking for a further 3-4 minutes.
- Add the vegan chicken strips, maple syrup, tamari, rice vinegar, water and cornstarch. Lower the heat to a medium and stir for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
- Prepare the sauce by stirring together the soy yoghurt, cilantro, spring onion, cucumber, lemon juice and salt.
- Assemble the sandwiches. On bread of your choice, start with a layer of lettuce, followed by the vegan chicken, yoghurt sauce, mashed avocado, spring onion and chilli flakes. That's it!

Notes
- Don't assemble the sandwiches more than a few hours before you're ready to eat them, because this will make the bread go soggy. The yoghurt sauce is also best eaten straight away. However, you can make the vegan chicken filling ahead of time, and leave it in the fridge for 3-4 days. From this point, it will take under 5 minutes to assemble the sandwiches.
