Peel and finely chop the ginger. Halve the chili pepper lengthwise, remove the seeds, and finely chop. Cut the chicken breast into large pieces and chop either by hand or in a food processor until medium-fine. Mix in a bowl with the egg white, breadcrumbs, ginger, and chili. With lightly oiled hands, form into 2 triangles and place on a plate lined with cling film and place in the freezer for 10 minutes. Soak the apricots in warm water for 5 minutes. Mix the salad mayonnaise, yogurt, and curry powder. Season with a pinch of sugar, salt, and pepper. Finely chop the chives and mix in. Finely dice the apricots and shallots. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan and sauté the shallots until translucent. Add the apricots and sauté briefly. Mix in the mustard and season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat. Slice the cucumber lengthwise. Cut 1 cucumber slice into triangles. Heat the remaining oil in a non-stick pan. Season the patties with salt and pepper and cook over medium-high heat for 8 minutes on each side. Turn over and top with the cheese. Bake the buns in the preheated oven and cut them in half horizontally. Make a 1 cm long cut in the center of the outer edge of the bun lids. Insert the cucumber triangles into the cuts like a rear wing. Top the bottom halves of the buns with cucumber slices, lettuce leaves, and patties. Spread with the curry sauce and apricot mixture and top with the bun lids.
