Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons sweet white miso, divided
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • Two 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sesame oil (canola or vegetable oil can be substituted)
  • Sliced tomato
  • Leaf lettuce
  • 8 mini burger buns

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of the miso and the mayonnaise. Set aside.

  2. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, remaining 6 tablespoons of miso, cilantro, olive oil, garlic powder, five-spice powder, salt, pepper and lemon zest. Pulse until coarsely chopped, but not puréed.

  3. Form the mixture into 8 patties about 3 inches around and about 1 1/2 inches thick. As you are forming the patties, use your fingers to firmly pack them.

  4. Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. One at a time, set each patty in the bowl and pat breadcrumbs onto all sides of it.

  5. In a large skillet over medium-high, heat 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil. Add the patties and cook until browned and heated through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. If the patties start to stick, add another tablespoon of oil when flipping.

  6. Serve the burgers on buns topped with miso-mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato.
