In a large bowl, knead the eggs, meat, breadcrumbs, ginger, garlic, sambal oelek, and coriander by hand. Add a little water if needed to bind the dough. Divide the mixture into 4 portions and shape each into a flat patty. Heat oil in a large pan and cook the burgers over medium heat for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, use a vegetable peeler to slice the cucumber and carrot lengthwise into strips. Mix all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl. Cut the flatbread into 4 pieces and toast both sides. Cut each piece open, fill with a burger, lettuce, mint, carrots, and cucumber strips. Drizzle with the sauce, sprinkle with peanuts, and fold to seal.
