Chef's notes
Use chili sauce if you don't have fresh chillies.
Freeze the uncooked burgers, separated with greaseproof paper for easy thawing.
With in the proportions above, you should not need a beaten egg to hold the burgers together, however, if you increase the quantity of breadcrumbs over 40g , then add a beaten egg at step one.
