Method
Step 1
For the chilli sauce, bring 250ml water to the boil in a small saucepan. Add the tomatoes, chilli and ginger; simmer until reduced by half. Blitz to a purée using a stick blender, then add the sugar and simmer for 3-5 mins more until thickened and shiny. Leave to cool.
Step 2
Meanwhile, for the slaw, combine the courgette, radish and a good pinch of salt and black pepper in a sieve set over the sink. Leave to soften and drain for 10 mins, then add to a bowl with the red onion. Mix in the sour cream and chive dip, then fold through the mint and coriander, reserving 1 tbsp of the chopped coriander for the chilli sauce.
Step 3
Stir the lemon juice into the cooled chilli sauce, along with the reserved coriander. Fold in the shredded ham until well coated.
Step 4
To assemble, pile the sticky ham into the buns and top with the slaw; serve.
