For the Asian Slaw, in medium bowl, mix together, mayonnaise, ginger, lime juice, garlic, honey, soy sauce and Grey Poupon mustard. Add coleslaw, cilantro and green onions, stir until combined. Refrigerate until serving. To make patties, place trimmed bread in food processor until crumbs are made, then combine the chicken, cilantro, green onions, soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil and breadcrumbs in medium bowl, mix until just combined. Divide into six equal portions, make into long patties (to fit the french rolls) When grill is ready, brush grill rack with the vegetable oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover and cook, turning once, until the patties are cooked thru, about 5 to 7 minutes each side. While the patties are cooking, slice the french rolls in half, spread about 1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise on each side of the rolls, place on the grill, mayonnaise side down, grill until lightly toasted. To assemble the burgers, divide the sesame sauce between the six rolls, spreading on one side of each bun. Top with patty, 1/6 of the asian slaw, then top with the other side of the bun and serve.
